My orbital maths is a bit rusty, but I don't think so? I mean, I am quite close to the top of the planet, and the battery did go pretty quickly, but, uh, I don't think so... 🫣

All (2-body) orbits are ellipses, so the path is guaranteed to travel through starting location a second time.

If your battery does not have enough mass to return to you from below, you may need to speak to the manufacturer regarding warranties.
