How low do you fly your batteries?

I think you could also check the voltage in the DJI Fly app. That's the relevant data.

You are probably right that 0% does not harm the battery.

Which app or software do you use to get this picture?

Depending on how far i fly. If i'm doing the circuits in backyard, i land at 20-15%. Avoid going below 10 unless i'm testing the failsafe behaviour (had Mavic 1 Pro hovering at 4%, nagging me, but not autolanding, unlike air 2, which tries to land immediately at below 10, and you have to keep the throttle up to get it closer to you

Dji fpv usually lands with 40% battery left. Starts beeping at me there. Usually only a few seconds before rth trys to take over.

Perhaps its because the FPV burns through its batteries maybe

To me,
Batteries are like gas. But worse, this battery chemistry is very temperature sensitive, and the discharge rate can be flaky.

I have had every battery chemistry there is in flashlights. It is amazing how much raw power is available in these cells, but it is frustrating being somewhere, bright beam, then suddenly beyoooop - dead as a hammer.

Add to that if you're not really watching the indicator, you don't really get a sense of how hard the drone is working for station keeping (I am starting to pay attention to the prop sounds), and as the batteries get older the curves change...

I have no interest in having to go and retrieve my drone.

I guess, if you are flying low altitude in a park, or a place you control (shrugs). For me, I will most likely wind up in a forest, or potentially private property.

So, I have five batteries, do short hops, and change frequently.

I am trying to figure out how to cycle all of them so that they can cool down before charging, charge, and be ready so that I always have one hot and ready to swap.

On my Mavic Pro and Mini 3 I always landed around 20%.
But when I dropped several dimes on the M3 and the three batteries I went nuts or something and started landing closer to 50%.
I stopped flying the M3 over a year ago easy and stored the batteries at 60% or so and didn't touch them until the day before yesterday when I pulled the drone out the car trunk (j/k, it was in my bedroom closet lol) and updated everything and charged the batteries back up.
I flew all afternoon today and easily got 15 nearly 20 minutes flight time 2+ miles out and back with over 50%. Batteries seem strong after the storage. I think I have 17 cycles on the one that came with the M3 and like 11 and 13 on the other two. So happy I didn't ruin anything by not using it. ugh.

So i decided to see let it return to home on its own. **** thing was climbing to the moon with no end in site. Ounce i landed it . I clicked around in goggles. Return to home height was set to 13,000ft lol

So i set it to 130ft wich clears trees power lines near me. Now it lets me fly to 20% left. I think i had 15% left ounce on the ground.
Dramatically increased my flight time since im mainly hovering around getting my stick muscles back.
