in a hot garage or car the battery can be damaged or even catch fire!
Do not over-discharge the Li-ion battery. Discharging the Li-ion battery too low can cause damage to the
battery resulting in reduced power, flight duration or failure of the battery entirely.
Li-ion cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load.

point the throttle is gradually reduced. At this point the battery should be recharged.
