Battery indicator messaging displays how much battery you have available for flight, how much battery capacity is available for a return trip, and how much battery is required to land.
Percentage

|
Displays the raw battery percentage available for flight
|

|
When battery capacity has less than two minutes of flight time available for landing the indicator will change to a countdown
|

|
When battery capacity is zero the indicator will change to an alert symbol and the drone will initiate a non-cancellable landing with the ability to nudge
|
Green

|
Green indicates how much battery capacity for nominal flight before the time limit required to safely return and land
- decreases as battery capacity diminishes during flight
- decreases you fly away from the return location, increasing the time to return
- may increase as you fly toward the return location, decreasing the time to return
|
Yellow

|
Yellow indicates how much battery is required to safely return
- increases as you fly away from the return location, increasing the time to return
- decreases as you fly toward the return location, decreasing the time to return
- increase or decrease with the time to safely return
|

|
The white tick mark hits the yellow battery region when the user receives the already-implemented return user prompt when the vehicle has hit its maximum return limit to safely return.
|
Red

- increase as the drone ascends
- decrease as the drone descends
