Battery life and flight times

Hi All,

Had the first flights with my new S900 the other day and have a question relating to flight times and battery life. I'm using 10400mAh 6C packs. Mt aircraft is right on the 7kg mark and I'm looking for 9 mins flight time from each pack.

I need to review the level 1 and 2 battery warning levels in the Flight Assistant, but I was landing when the OSD reading was 21.7V. At this point, the flashing LED was going from orange to red. I was getting 6 mins flight time at this point. On checking the packs after flight, I had an average of 50% charge left in them.

So, to get to 9 mins flight time, what would you recommend setting the battery warning levels at and what % charge would you be happy having in your packs when you land?

Thanks,
Dom.

Easy? You call that easy?
It's different for everyone. Fly, see how many mah you put back in on the charger, then adjust your limits accordingly. For a 10400mah lipo you should put back in no more than 8320mah.
