So I did my first flights a couple nights ago and two more yesterday so I planned to use two batteries tonight so I charged them using the strip for the first time. One of the batteries was nearly charged so it topped of first and then the second battery, which was at about 25%, charged up next. So I put my batteries in the bag and went out to fly.
The first flight was fine and lasted about 23 minutes and then ... the screw up. I landed and replaced the battery with what I thought was the other charged battery and took off getting about 1km away when the low battery warning came on -- WTF. So, I quickly turn around and land after a total flight of just about 4 minutes. Turns out the battery I put in was the third battery that had been used yesterday and the flight began with less than 40% charge. I think I was just under 20% when I landed. I must be more careful with batteries in the future...
