## Battery monitoring
To monitor how much battery you have left in flight, voltage isn't a good indication because it can sag a lot. mAh is also not a good indication, because it doesn't decrease linearly with voltage. Energy is a better way, using the "Wh drawn" INAV OSD item. In addition, INAV has heat loss compensation for the energy meter, which gives you a more accurate reading.
To calculate the Wh a battery can give, the best way is to charge or discharge it and see how many Wh were spent, if your charger shows you. Another way is to get a rough estimate using the formula `no_cells * 3.7 * Ah`. So, for a 1800 4S battery, the maximum Watt-hours are `4 * 3.7 * 1.8 = 26.64 Wh`. **You should not discharge more than 80% of that value.**
For a 4S battery, I go with a rule of thumb: The maximum Wh is `mAh / 100`, so for a 5000 mAh battery I'll start to land after 50 Wh consumed, which is around 70% of the battery consumed and gives a nice margin for error.
