This just began happening with my duel SkyView units (each having a backup battery) a few flights ago:
When I shut down and turn off the battery master, both units display AIRCRAFT POWER LOST...followed by the countdown sequence "SHUTTING DOWN IN ...SECONDS"
Then a continuous loop occurs beginning with the AIRCRAFT POWER LOST... and the SHUTTING DOWN message.

The only way to stop the repeating loop is to manually press the POWER OFF button.

Suggestions?

Thanks....

Have a look at what your airspeed is doing when you go to shut down.
I've seen it with Dynon and Aspens where the ASI is not zero, and prevents them from shutting down.
I know it needs >40kts to automatically stay on battery power, but maybe it is spiking up and down?
That's all I can think of that might cause this, other than something wrong in the screen itself.
Worthwhile doing the zero pressure IAS calibration
