I know every time I go out to fly the flight batteries are fully charged, but my question is about the batteries in the upgraded Remote Controller and the Range Extender. What are the proper charging procedures?
Normally when I return from flying I put all the spent used batteries on the chargers and top off the charge on each. And I'll admit most of the time I have left them on the charger until I pack up to go out agin and sometimes the can be for days on end. It appears the chargers shutdown when the units are fully charged and it doesn't seem to make a difference that the batteries are still connected." Knock on wood" I have been doing this for quite awhile and everything appears to work fine.
What prompted my questioning these procedures, was I have a MacBook Pro, that I left plugged in continuously and the Lipo battery bloated, but this was years after having it plugged in around the clock.
I rechecked the manual before posting this and could find no recommended procedures. I've can remember reading previous threads about Pilots reporting bloated batteries but I assumed those were defective batteries. Another thread talked about discharging the batteries 50% before storage.
If anybody has any ideas or suggestions it would be appreciated, like everyone else I want these batteries to last as long as possible.
Thanks everybody Happy Flying
