Lipo battery monitor
What are all of the trex owners out there using to monitor battery voltage levels so that they know when to land before discharging the battery too far?

RE: Lipo battery monitor
I just use a timer. I fly for 5:00 then land and recharge. I'm usually at 10.8-11 V at that point. Sure I could squeeze more time out of it but Lipo's are expensive.

RE: Lipo battery monitor
I use a timer and an EagleTree Micropower Flight logger in addition to confirm that I'm not abusing my batteries. So when the battery looses capacity over time, I can just use the graphs from the datalogger as a basis for setting the timer on my radio.
