Maybe you have a software bug in your bird. Mine absolutely does not exhibit this behavior. I'm on the latest firmware, both batteries updated. No problems with any of the updates. Usually fly with my Iphone 6.
I have my first low battery warning set at 30%, critical at 10%. When I hit 30% I will get the warning and beep. If it's outside the minimum battery required to get back to the home point, it will initiate a RTH, which you can cancel. When it hits 10%, it will autoland. I've tested this a number of times with both batteries. Never has it done anything other than autoland when it hits the 10% critical battery level.
I have not tested flying with batteries stored at 30-40% for several days, as I'm not interested in that scenario. I charge my batteries to 100% before flying. However, I have landed and taken breaks on a number of occasions before relaunching with the same battery with no problems. It's not necessary to fly a battery to your endpoint in one flight, but if you are going to store it overnight or longer, you should definitely charge to 100% before the next flight.
When prompted to run my batteries to 5% or less at the 10 charge interval, I fly it down to the 10% or so, then idle, throttle up a bit, run the motors down until it shut off, which is 0% in the batteries logic. Recharge to 100%, then good to go. So far, knock on wood, with way over 100 flights, never had a problem. |
