Battery Failsafe
The firmware Arducopter has a number of failsafe mechanisms to ease vehicle recovery/prevent wandering in the event that vehicle control is lost.
The Battery Failsafe serves to guarantee a safe termination of the flight in those cases in which the Drone detects that the battery is very low.
WHEN IS IT ACTIVATED? | WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS ACTIVATED? | CONTINGENCY MANEUVERS |
---|---|---|
It is activated when the battery voltage remains below 43.5V for more than 10 seconds, which is equivalent to more or less 25% of the battery capacity | The message “Low Battery! ” appears on the screen and by default RTL flight mode is activated | When a battery failsafe occurs, the immediate action is to leave automatic control on the Drone and not interrupt the RTL maneuver. If the pilot interrupt the RTL maneuver, there is a risk that the battery voltage drops below a threshold in which the drone has not enough power to lift its weight and therefore suffer a hard landing |
