Advanced controllers like PX4 and APM have failsafe options where it returns to home on battery crossing a certain percentage such as 20% which is modifyable by the user.

If you don't have advanced flight controller like Pixhawk etc, to find out flight time, make rough calculation with drone weight, motor current and battery capacity. Then fly your drone at 6 ft height to check the calculated flight time with LOW Battery indicator. Flight time will not be constant as the drone flies at high will experience wind load, frequent maneuvering will drain the power quickly. You have take these factor in to account while flying drone without low battery safety measure.

In addition to that, if you use same battery for more times, LiPo's will degrade with no. of cycles and time. You have to take this too into account for safe flying.
