I bought a extra battery for my phantom 3 standard but i will only use one battery the first 2-3 months, how do i store it and it wont be damage or less flight time if a store it for 2-3 months?
so i must discharge it before i store the new battery?It'll be fine if you do not use it for 2-3 months. The battery will auto discharge itself to a safe storage level. Check out this guide for more tips on storing your batteries.
No. By default, your batteries will start to auto discharge after 10 days. That discharge process takes about 2 days to complete. You can change that 10 day setting in the DJI GO app (in the battery section). I changed mine to 2 days. If you have more than one battery, you need to update this setting with each battery installed in your Phantom.so i must discharge it before i store the new battery?
That's pretty low. Between 30-50% is a better level for long-term storage.I now keep my batteries stored with roughly 25% to 30% of charge left in them. I once left a fully-charged battery sitting for several weeks and it failed after 2 or 3 flights once I started to use it again. (and 2 or 3 recharge cycles). One of the cells (out of three) completely shorted out.
