When it happens my iphone still shows connection to the drone even after I refresh the network.  What gives I tell ya what gives?

I found this program called ardrone diagnostics(aard) that i've used to test each motor individually, motors 1 and 2 are fine but i can get 3 and 4 to spin up but only for a split second, then the drone shuts off completely and i have to disconnect the battery for a few second before i can reconnect it.

Also i don't have a charger so i've been using my arduino to power the battery while its hooked to the drone, so it could be a battery problem.
Other than that i can't find any damage to either board.
