Talk about a confusing subject. Long term, short term, in between term.
On the matter of battery voltage while not using them for a week or so I see in many video's Tom's Tech Time for example that he states that a Phantom 3 Professional Flight battery should be stored at between 40% and 50% of its total capacity.
My question is, can you go by one solid green as an accurate indicator of a battery at 25% charged, and 2 solid greens as an indicator of 50% charged and so on?
If not, can a more reliable/accurate method of determining the battery voltage level be established by using a volt meter? If so, where does one put the leads? I see two gold terminals as in the photo I've provided but don't know whether this is the correct place to put them or not.
For example, on a Flight Battery with two solid green lights I get 0.15v
Can anyone help me with this and perhaps tell me how to get an accurate reading of the voltage on my flight batteries?
Thank you kindly.
