It would lose connection at 12.5V, or with a nominal battery voltage of 12.5V it would lose connection under load? If the latter, your battery might not be able to hold a charge very will anymore. Is this an old battery?

It has happened with 3 new batteries. So, I can say that the battery is not the problem. Don't stress over it. We can still drive for a solid 30 minutes without having any issues.

If you are driving 30 minutes on the same battery, you are most likely draining it down to the point where you can damage it. My team has lost several otherwise good batteries because of this.
