Default Auto rotation help please

Can some one please explain how you auto rotate. Two times now I have lost power at about thirty feet up. I just hold the throttle at up positions. Then I steer it down to a landing spot best I can . Both time I hit the ground hard enough to break the landing gear. The first time I bent the tail boom. What do I do when I loose power.Can I do something different to bring it down softer?.
I think both times maybe I had not charged the battery and was flying with a half charged battery. I will check now every time if battery is charge before each flight.
