Flight time on Typhoon H Battery

[Rayray]

Okay, so it won't necessarily harm the batteries to fly down to the 2nd warning. (roughly 14.1V)
I generally start bringing the copter in closer to my location after the 1st warning and land on the 2nd.

Probably OK, but I try not to wait that long myself.

I've landed with 13.9 showing on my screen... Battery is fine and works like my others with no damage...

David I think you're spot on. It will not hurt your motors. Not charging them up to at least 14.8 will.

motors?

You'll know how accurate that assessment is when the time comes to replace older batteries. The number of charge/discharge cycles you obtain before they experience permanent cell voltage loss will tell you quite a lot. 50-75 cycles, not so good. 100/200 cycles, you handled them reasonably well, 200-400 cycles, you handled them just fine.

Why are we allowing them to lie and get away with it? How do they come up with these flight times?

Same should apply to the sticker advertised MPH on new vehicle!

Thanks! @ BillyTexas MPG, I would love to blame autocorrect on my phone, but by now you guys all know anyway!
