Not sure. We can check all that when I upload the telemetry but the ones where I didn't hover at the end with 22 mins in bad conditions is pretty legit with 26% and 19% left over.That is what I was thinking...is your last 10% of battery time as long as your first 10%?
Yeah, I told him that early on. He still doesn't get it...Somebody is making an erroneous assumption..... that battery discharge rate is linear. Sorry, it isn't. Carry on.
Please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, explain to me why there is absolutely no discussion on the OBJECTIVE FACT WITH PROOF?
Plus I'm high and it's not ideal conditions so WHATS THE PROBLEM HERE?
come on chaps take a chill pill, he only came on to post HIS battery test results, he kinda does have a point once you wade through ALL that waffle, we need actual tests by real P4 owners

I'm really glad I made that effort rather than stomping around the forums trying to brand P4 owners as ignorant fools or the latest smear - drug users.
My second P4 flies great and gets better battery life than my P3 by around 20-25%.

Excuse me Mr. Tron he admitted he was high. His words. He brought it up. It wasn't a smear. It was simply a fact. Next?
How do you figure I am "crapping on the P4?" I like the aircraft & have only ONE disappointment with the P4. It's battery life does not live up to specifications. This is simply a fact based on testing & flight data from three different batteries. Many others are noting similarly disappointing flight times so I'm not exactly sure what exchanging the aircraft is supposed to do? It isn't knocking the aircraft or wanting it to fail to point out actual battery life. OTOH pretending the P4 is perfect & covering over the battery shortcoming is a disservice.
Perhaps you will be kind enough to post some of your P4 flight data & battery life stats to add something constructive to the conversation?
High altitude now means drug use? Get real, dude. You're falling over backwards to discredit anyone with a different experience from your "nemesis." That's childish, boorish and a waste of everyone's time. We get that your P4 sucks, get it fixed and move on or go back to the P3 forum and gush about your favorite flyer. IDGAF what you do, really.
You want me to post my results? Well, I have no plans to toast my batteries to prove something to you by flying to 2%. Here are the logs from my last flight with P3 and P4. The results are pretty clear to me, but I'm sure you'll find a way to try and discredit them.
P3 interpolated: 18.5 mins --> Approx 20 min when adjusted for takeoff @ 93% battery
P4 interpolated: 26 min flight time

I use to fly my P3 at -50Celsius and get full flight time, the trick is to block all ventilation holes using white electric tape, then the battery will stay at it's optimal temperature of about 30C.I wonder how may of the people who are experiencing shorter flight times are in cold environments.
I'm certain many of us would appreciate the opportunity to review your actual P4 flight log instead of the imaginary "interpolated" version.

Here's the math, all the info is on the screen shot -
P4 flight time = 19 min divided by .73
P3 flight time = 12 min divided by .65 then add 7% and round up
