Is your voltage reading correct???

[europe]

Hi, I suspected my voltage protection to kick in way too early so I hooked up a voltage meter to the distribution point (splitter) on the 500XT. The reading is 0.4 volts higher than Naza assistant tells me. This correlates well with my OSD that displays 11.1V when I get the red blinkning warning light. First voltage protection is set to 10.7V in the assistant. Questions: How accurate is this Naza voltage monitor really? Maybe I could lower the protection levels by 0.4V and go for 10.3 / 9.9V, even if the numbers look way to low...

Cheers!

Hmm... just fond out that I can recalibrate the voltage monitor of the
Naza. Will do first thing tomorrow

And I thought I bought a ready-to-fly system. At least thats what the vendor told me (and charged me for) Grrrr....

I have my VP set quite low. I think 3.4v per cell. It's only for emergencies. Haven't tested calibration though.

I don't even use it anymore, more trouble then it is worth. Buy a $6.00 voltage monitor from eBay or someone, you will get better flight times without the worries of it coming down over some trees or water.

Ok, thanks for your info!
After recalibrating I gained yet another minute or so of flight time. My OSD tells me that I have drained the battery for about 4500 out of 5500mAh when it autolands (safety level 2 = 10.3V)
Am I still too much on the safe side?
