without being shamed or belittled , please
why is my M2P returning to home based on amount of battery life left , then it arrives with 30% battery left? is there antway to change this?

I'm not sure what the perceived problem is.
You don't want your drone to be getting back with 0% or even 10% on the gauge.
The auto setting is conservative.
If you want to fly more than leaving RTH to do its own thing, you can cancel RTH and resume control.
But it's a good idea to keep a safety margin to allow for unpleasant surprises.

You can go into battery setting and change the battery voltage upon which
The craft will return

No - you cannot change that setting - it's dynamically calculated based on distance from the home point.

Yes you are correct
I was thinking of “Low battery alarm setting “

THe other choice could become, it never returns to home!

After reading all of the fly away and crash posts, I am more than happy to head for home on the first battery warning.

As the new a member here & drone owner the RTH features and necessary battery level has been well documented. See too many crash reports around this issue.

Not a new subject, has been discussed in several other threads. I agree it is a little mysterious, it would be interesting to no the equations behind it in which case you could make a decision whether to ignore it for a while or not. However I’m super careful and don’t hesitate to return home, stick in a new battery and live to fly again.

Me too!

It's good practice to land between 20-30% so it's doing just right.

The setting is on the conservative side.I have gotten to know more or less the % needed to get home.Usually this will be ok but a wind shift and other factors may take more than the battery will allow.Yourdrone/your risk.and liability if it lands on someone.
