Idle PSP4 Pro/Prov 2.0

[mikepen49]

Is there anything special I should do to charge and begin using new batteries that has been inactive for over a year?

I have a Venom Pro (400W, 4-ports) Phantom Battery Charger that can "condition" batteries. Will that be adequate to begin using these batteries to fly?

Thanks for the replies.

Do you have the DJI charger that came with the drone? I'm pretty conservative and would sure stick with that to begin with. The battery specs in the User Manual for my Phantom 4 Pro state the charger is 17.5V and 100W and the battery specs says max charging power is 100W. If your charger stays within these limits I don't see any problem. For sure I would monitor to be sure the heat was not excessive during charging. Sorry I can't be of more help but I tend to stick with OEM stuff. The "Smart" DJI batteries should be ok after a year of inactivity assuming they were in decent shape to start with and were stored in a good environment.
