How long did it fly before it died? What size battery and helicopter?

Same thing happened to me kind off. I fully charged my 3s 1800mah blade 400 battery this morning, a few hours after charging I took up the blade, only to have the motor cut out after about a minute, I only had enough juice for an auto! and no, I didnt hit throttle hold!!!

Sounds like your battery is bad. Do you time your flights and keep track of charging times and voltages so you can use the 80% rule?

Or the charger died.

Pincone is right .I forgot how undependable those the stock chargers are.
