For the EVO Lite 6K and 640T Enterprise, the flight controller can initiate return-to-home (RTH) when its position-based estimate says the remaining battery is only enough to return, or when the low-battery threshold set in the flight app is reached. For the position-based alert, the app gives a 10-second prompt; RTH starts after 10 seconds if you confirm or take no action. The controller acts on whichever low-battery return condition occurs first.[1]
Before you begin

When low-battery RTH has started, Autel warns not to cancel it because the aircraft may not have enough power to return. The manual also advises against allowing critically low battery landing to begin.[3]

RTH may not activate with a poor GNSS signal. Obstacle avoidance will not operate during RTH unless that system is enabled. If the return landing point is unsuitable, the manual says to exit RTH and take manual control to land.[2]

If critically low battery landing begins, the manual says stick input can adjust the landing location while you are moving the sticks; the aircraft continues landing after you release them. Follow flight-app warnings immediately.[3]

If you cancel that return and continue flying, reaching the critically low battery threshold triggers critically low battery landing.[1]
