OK ... some ask about storage and how long they can leave them. We see so many answers that really there seems to be no real one.
I have maintained that a general eye should be kept on the charge level of the battery and if it gets to 1 solid + 1 flashing LED .... its time to full charge and let Auto system do its job again. Basically to avoid letting battery get into Hibernation Mode.
I can now report results of a close friend who has not flown his P3P since September 2017.
We were chatting about various and I asked him when he last flew it ... which led me to advise him to check his batterys !
He has BOTH batterys only showing 1 Led ......
So that is September 2017 - he placed on shelf fully charged and its now end of February 2018 and BOTH batterys showing only 1 LED.
That equates to about a 75% self discharge over approx. 5 months.
He is now charging them up to stop any further drain and possible Hibernation mode !!
We do not say everyone will experience same - but I can say this .... he is an experienced RC person and knows his LiPo's ... he also has DJI batterys that have had only minimal use.
