I will be interested to see how you get on with Autel. I hope they replace yours so I can do the same with mine. There is no way I am flying my drone + battery combination any more.
Exactly. When the battery is discharging faster than normal, it should give the user a warning to say that the battery is "not quite right." And give the user a chance to land or return immediately.
The battery has less than 25 cycles on it. I can understand the normal tear and wear of a lithium battery and expect them to give shorter and shorter flight time as they age. What I do not understand is how can Autel design a system that gives complete false indication of the battery charge...
No I didn't fully charge it as it was only a very short flight.
My crash would've been avoided
1) the charge indicator NOT showing 64% when it powered on. Instead it should've shown 30% or less (my total flight time is only 8 minutes). I would've not flown it at all.
2) the drone should've been...
Hi team:
So I did a short flight yesterday with my Nano plus (10month old). Taking off with a battery showing 61%. All is well until RTH is trigger when the battery is down to 24% after 5 minutes of flying. So I immediately started to fly back in a straight line. The battery was down to 21%...
