explain this

[teccer]

on todays first full flight with my new mini 2 , after the flight I went to Airdata and saw this, both photos are from the same flight, file split into two parts.
I was a bit confused at first but correct me if I'm wrong the second photo shows the power halfway round the dial, I think maybe it was because I flew until I got the low battery warning, correct?

@teccer as the cells start to get past around 30% remaining charge then the voltage drops a lot quicker personally to get the best life from my batteries i like to be on the ground at 30% ,always check the individual cell voltage when the battery is fully charged to see if the cells are all balanced a small voltage difference is acceptable ,you will find that after the cells have cooled down, that the remaining voltage will have climbed up as the cell recovers this is quite normal

Differences of 1/100th of a volt are nothing
Airdata needlessly alarms people with that.
Small differences in cell voltages are common and normal (as they even say in the text accompanying the graphs).
Looking at the actual data would be a lot more helpful.

I've just checked the data and the only warning I got ( low battery) was after the battery was below 30%, after I landed battery was 18% =7,29v 3.650-3.645. so maybe everytime I drop below 30% I'll get the same results from airdata.
Never have this with the P3P but saying that I never went that low on the P3P

so I assume that everytime I drop below 30% I'll get the same results from airdata.

Don't assume anything.
Trust the actual data rather than pretty graphs that are meaningless.

@teccer couple of things to note lipos when they are new improve, as they are used ,after a few charge, discharge, cycles also there is the remaining battery icon displayed on the screen so just keep an eye on that and try not to drop below the 30% to often that way your batteries will last a lot longer

thanks for your info, as it was my first proper flight I just let it go until I had to land but your suggestion about not pushing past 30% is one of my thoughts, with my P3P I never go below 30% so will carry that one with the mini 2.
thanks again Ray
