The smart charge board will shut down the battery but things have been known to fail.
So no its not a good idea but in most cases it will not harm your battery.
I Should Know The Answer But I Do Not
Leaving The Evo Charging After It IS Fully Charged...Will it damage the battery ?
I always assumed that it was bad for the battery...TRUE ?
Thanks All

Thank you for this info
I flew close to the breaking waves up and down the Beautiful beach and then brought it above the beach + suddenly it started to do a yo yo up and down thing..IF i didn't hold the stick DOWN all the time it flew Up + High without any input from me...i was grateful i wasn't DIRECTLY over the water...it kept up doing a Yo Yo move and my heart was in my mouth.
This has happened to me before...it was the same scenario...Running very low on battery power and the bird went crazy...Up + Down all the while as i held the stick DOWN.
Are you saying that the critical battery auto land sequence can be permanently cancelled by holding the cancel button for 3 seconds? I know I can do that on Go Home landing sequence triggered at the 25% level. Didn't know that was an override on the critically low level too. I was in auto land yesterday and tried juggling my bird in the last few seconds to 'hit' the landing pad but missed. Its tricky....and definitely activated my own "pucker factor." ?When it goes to auto land if you don't hold the up throttle long enough it will try to descend again when you let go (doing the yo yo effect you're talking about). You need to hold it for about 3 seconds for it to get out of the auto land mode. The same with the cancel button. I've seen many people do this.
OK got it. One of my "feature requests" to Autel (perhaps the most important of all) is an absolute override of the critically low auto landing sequence. Perhaps only when a pilot is flying in Boat Mode maybe. I plan to do a lot of filming from boats out on rivers, lakes and ocean (anglers fishing) and I absolutely need ever last watt of energy in that battery to insure unforeseen conditions don't cut me short on enough fuel to get back on the boat. I'd rather destroy a battery than lose a drone and the battery. Davey Jones has no mercy!I mean the 25%.
I understand that but I don't quite agree. Just come home sooner and put another battery in. JMO.OK got it.

How do you get out of AUTO LAND mode ? What is the lowest percentage of battery life that you can fly at to not have the problem i described (the Yo Yo thing)When it goes to auto land if you don't hold the up throttle long enough it will try to descend again when you let go (doing the yo yo effect you're talking about).

I will try what you have suggestedThis information was written for the Autel X-Star by Heath. He had written a whole document on the XSP's battery and had it approved by Autel. This is just one section of the PDF file but I think you can use it for reference on the EVO.
Another possible "critical drop" cause**...The battery's total mAh capacity is calculated
at each charge.This capacity is also used in the calculation of battery percent remaining.
As it charges, it counts the mAh going in. Once the charge finishes, it averages the new
count with the history of past counts. This is why Autel recommends you run the battery
down to 7% every 20 charges, at least. Now, if you are one of those who tends to bring
it in before the battery warning often, you may want to do this more often...Remember,
the total mAh capacity is based on the average of energy it takes to recharge to full.
Continuous partial discharging (bringing it in early) will cause the total mAh capcity to
fall, which is one thing that causes the sudden percentage drop and **critical land**.
My recommendation is to periodically bring the quad in close when it approaches
warning percentage to stop RTH from kicking in, then before critical percentage, bring it
low, perhaps 5 feet off the ground. When it reaches critical, hold the stick up to keep the
quad aloft until perhaps 5%, then let it land. It will force land around 3% no matter what.
This means on next charge, the count will be high, helping to recover the total mAh
capacity count.

The only thing that gets me worried is the Evo bobbing up + down in the air a few feet off the ground
i worry that it will fly wildly and injure someone while going through those up + down moves
It always seems to happen in a controlled pattern...up a specific height and down in the same fashion
