Storage of batteries drive me nuts!

i have six for my P3A.

#5 and #6 are Powerextra which I've only used once or twice. No problems,

I pretty much keep them at the back of the pack at 50% or so.

#1 thru #4 are my "actives, and are DJI original OEM.

I'm only a several time per week flyer, using 1 thru 3 mainly, #4 more rarely.

Since its active flight season, do you all think it's OK to leave 1 thru 4 fully charged as long as their gonna be put into action in the upcoming week?

Or keep them post-flight partial discharged until the next flight?

The latter seems to take more planning.

Then, sometimes I fully charge several the prior night, and for whatever reason I don't fly the next day as planned. So, I force partial discharge them without being used, using a discharger... not the bird itself.

Does that charge/discharge (without flying) not put stress in the batteries as well?

Trying to find a balance here...:)

A cycle is a cycle.
Having said that... a cycle with a slower/lower discharge rate to storage level would seem intuitively better since less stress, thus heat, would be created.
