Smart Battery. It calculates based on your rate of consumption and such. Simple example, the first 5 minutes of flight you have strong headwinds and consume 50%, then fly down wind back, you use only 10% and it only took 2 minutes. The battery will the information and average the consumption to get its %. Just a crude, example there many things that are factored in.
EDIT: That’s also why you should not start with a partly changed battery. Once it’s turned off it’s going to start calculating as if it’s fully charged when turned back on. That’s why you see post saying “ my battery dropped from 50% to 10% in 2 minutes”. |
