Battery Reserve Calculator

[caleb1]

I couldn't find anything by googling, so I am asking here.

Does anyone know of any calculator that will allow me to put in a set of way points, and wind direction/speed data and drone type, and have it calculate how much battery it will have left over when it lands?

Thanks.

just to many variables for any hope of an accurate result would need a very powerful computer to even begin to work it out

Depending on the app you are using, it'll give you a rough estimate how much time and or how many batteries might be used in a given mission. But none of the apps i am aware of do include wind calculations.

Just to give you an overview how one parameter change influcences the overall mission time:

Good to know.

Would anyone know if this is a feature Litchi includes?

Litchi gives only a rough time estimate:

Ok I see.

Thanks everyone for your answers.

It’s easy to calculate flight time. If it takes 10 minutes and you usually get 25 minutes of flight time on a battery, then your battery will be at 60%. Just an estimate.

thats the problem just an estimate i was trying to make the point because Caleb1 asked if there was a calculator to do the math dont disagree with you suggestion its something you have to try for yourself i guess
