I just had to post and say how it really sux now with how the battery software has effected our flights. It's obvious DJI created the software so that we have to buy batteries more frequently. I have 4 batteries I use in rotation and I don't feel like I would trust flying with any of them over 8-9 minutes. I get either warnings at 50-60% remaining, or get the not enough power RTH OK.
And I know I can shut those features off, but even now I wouldn't trust that the software would still show that I went through the battery in the same amount of time. Makes me wonder more about actual power availability when it shows the battery low. I do have 15-200 flights logged with a flight logger showing power availability. I will now look for any variations from before and now with the new battery software. I hope there is NO difference. If it does happen to show the quad using more juice then before, well.....we'll know there may be a hidden agenda going on with the batteries.
Here is a current situation with a recent flight. I had battery alarm come on 60% exactly while at 50ft distance & 200ft elevation. I put in failsafe and let it go the full landing process on purpose. From 50ft to the point of descending the battery meter dropped to 40%. It then descends and lands itself perfectly. The battery readout now shows 9%. So there ya have it.
Has anyone come up with any reasoning on whats going on?
