Using POI with new firmware, I was testing RTH function and I had two instances where RTH was purposely triggered by low battery, but after RTH notification, AC did not return home, it just landed at location where RTH was triggered.  In normal flight mode, when I activated RTH using right button on RC, AC behaved normally and landed exactly at HOME POINT. Hopefully, others will test RTH in various flight modes just in case.  I just hope the calculation that results in the notification about "only enough battery capacity left to complete RTH" is still working as it used to...

Did see your post on the subject on RCG forum and responded.

Did you check your RTH settings? Maybe your settings are set to land instead of going home?

Smart RTH and low battery RTH are 2 different behaviours.

I tested RTH in version.200.
Results:
With Smart RTH off, upon critical battery warning the AC landed directly below where it was hovering.
With Smart RTH off, when using the RTH button on the remote the AC came back to recorded home point from a hover.
