Batteries

[Boydy1]

I read in the forum Do not fly unless your battery is 100% charged.
So, if I leave to go to a point of interest to take photos or video shots, can I stop and go as my battery gets lower?
(Eg) 5 minutes at one spot then move on to another spot say 1 hour away and battery has dropped to 80%, does that mean I am flying unsafe and could expect battery failure?
I have done this on many occasions without any problem and just wondering what any of you guys think.
Ps. I fly p4 standard and mavic.

You can safely fly on an 80% battery if you're watching the battery voltage and you ensure you can make it back to the home point in time.

I had same problem 80% your good but the worst if you let battery get to weak the way I have mine set up it will land were it is just always watch your battery as far as the P4 can fly at 25% need to get home you will always be good come on you guys help me out here I give free lessons for new pilots at 25 get your butt home KEEP FLYING SAFE
