Battery settings and Landing??

[cassalatico]

I have my battery percentage set at 30 and my critical set at 10% I have been currently landing when battery reaches 30% I was just wondering at what percentage does the majority on here land ?

I am new and follow the same default guideline but would like to decrease the low bat warning to 5% before RTH at the farthest distance but I'm not sure how. (Sidenote: P3S) I have landed by using the low batt RTH only once.

I ignore the battery percentage and land before the first battery cell reaches 3.3V.

5% before RTH is not much at all, keep in mind your return flight could be into a head wind so it might take longer to return than the software guess says, so 5% does not sound like a smart setting to me and sounds like you risk having your drone force land itself wherever it is if it runs out.

What % does most people reckon is time to set the bird done??

Relying solely on the percentage is dangerous. It should not be trusted.

What other things other than the % read outs can you go on please?

It's best to watch the voltage of the lowest battery cell. See more details here.
