Battery Health Monitor
Go into the battery status display by tapping on the battery icon at the top of the QGroundControl applica-
tion. Verify that the battery voltage is about 20 volts—the minimum takeoff voltage. Preferably it should be a
fully charged battery reading ~25 volts.
Note
The percent (%) reported next to the Battery status icon in the top ribbon of
QGroundControl assumes a full battery at power on. Powering on the unit
with a partially charged battery will also show a value of 100%. Always be
sure to monitor the actual voltage and do not rely on the percentage indica-
tor shown in the ribbon.
