According to Woodman, the problem with the battery was a minor issue and can be resolved with a piece of tape.
Stating the actual reason, Woodman said that problem was only due to battery basically popping out a few millimeters and causing a power failure in the drone. "If we have a mechanical issue where the battery backs out, if you came out with a way to keep that battery from backing out a couple millimeters, you'll be fine," Woodman said.
