To Charge or Not to Charge

[runner1717]

Took my P3A and three batteries out for a spin today. 78 in Nebraska today. That's just nuts for February!

Anyway, I ran all three batteries down to between 25 and 50 percent. Since I won't be using the bird for another month or so, should I charge all 3 batteries to 100 percent and then let them discharge themselves or should I just store them with the charge they now have? I know every charge counts towards the life of the battery. So what do you do?

TIA,

Mike

I leave my batteries at half charge 50% if not going to use for a while..

Leaving your batteries sit with too low or too high a charge is bad for them.
Around 50-60% is the best charge level for long term storage.
SO charge them up yo half way or charge them to 100% and let them discharge to storage level.
