Status: offline 		Yup, it's normal. And the higher you go in voltage the more prominent it can get. That spark will eventually wear out your connectors. Not much you can do about it other than installing a switch inline between the esc and battery, but that's a bad idea because mechanical switches are known to fail in flight. Not something you want!

Just replace your connector whenever it gets worn out .
