Battery question

[Terry Terrenoire]

I was trying to get the tech info that would tell me just how far down a
battery can be drawn before it poses a problem.
Yes, I have taken all the other aspects you mentioned into consideration.

My 3 flights averaged 120 ma used per flight so it looks like 4 flights
is safe with a 50% reserve. I will have drawn 500ma from the 1100 pack.
Yes, I do ESV between all flights.

One thing to keep in mind is "flight" can mean different things to
different people. To some, a flight is two times through the masters
sequence with a some additional work on a manuever or two. To someone
else (like me) a flight is once through the Advanced sequence with work
on a couple of manuvers. My typical consumption is 100mAH per flight,
which is a valid number only for me flying my airplane, with all
equipment functioning properly. With a 1650mAH NiMH pack I am comfortable
flying 8 times, roughly half of the pack's capacity. I measure the
voltage between flights to gaurd against some unknown such as a binding
servo suddenly drawing more current. I recommend you calculate your own
"per flight battery consumption" and not rely on other's observations.
