I'm just curious. What battery % would you like the safety landing limit to be set at then? (Keeping in mind that this is a figure that DJI have put in place to stop individual cells drawing below a set voltage and therefore preserving the life of the battery)
Would you be happy if it was 3%? Or do you want removed all together?
We have already established that batteries that are dropping from 50% to 3% rapidly are not the norm. So under normal flying conditions the 10% threshold would be fine as you shouldn't be flying anywhere near that limit.
If you changed the limit to 3% then the faulty batteries would still be thrown into a forced landing.
If you removed it all together then I would estimate that you probably have 10-15 seconds max to get the I1 on the ground before there was just no more voltage left whatsoever causing total shut down of all systems and who know what issues that may cause long term!
In either situation I would say the outcome has a strong possibily of being less than desireable.
The point I am trying to make is that this forced landing limit of 10% is a safety margin. If it was removed it could result in a damaged battery and possibly damaged circuits/components/hardware......
personally I would remove anything that can shut the motors down and just let the individual set the warning and critical warning where ever they want down to 1% and just let it be a warning and nothing else.
I think everyone agrees running batteries down to zero is bad for their life span. who cares. as of right now the inspire software thinks it better to kill the motors below 10% and crash it's self to preserve the cells. last I checked most crashes the battery gets totaled anyway so the whole purpose of the auto landing at 10% is nothing but a liability.
let people run batteries down to zero and burn them out. after they spend 2000 on new ones maybe they will figure it out, even if they don't at least they will maintain control while flying if they do wanna take it down to zero every time and us more responsible ones wont have this huge fear of flying past 30% as it is.
there have been so many battery firmware updates no one can really know the whole story with these things. so I think the simplest solution is the best.
