thunderbird · May 9, 2016

Received new battery from DJI
Full charge and flew first time everythingok
2nd Charge flew yesterday around 40% Battery voltage was turning green and yellow
Any idea why ?

It sounds like your voltage was getting low. That makes sense at that battery level. It's more important to watch the voltage -- rather than watch the colors and percentages.

It never went below 3.6

3.6 is pretty low. You want to be on the ground at 3.4.

BTW, it's not a good idea to start a flight at 46% battery. That could get you into some serious trouble -- especially around water.

I actually started at 100% but landed few times and take off, because went fishing and was taking some videos

I mean 3.6 on each cell when landing

That all sounds reasonable. The yellow color is alerting you of the low voltage. You should be careful flying on low batteries. When in doubt, pop in a fresh battery and keep flying safely
