Took my P3S out today, it's been a while

[drquest]

I haven't had much time lately to fly my P3S, but my kids got out of school early today for Christmas break and they had some friends over so I thought I'd give it go.

Temperatures have been colder this week, but it's around 50 degrees today and sunny. I charged everything up, and was prompted for the firmware update which went fairly quickly. Took it outside and calibrated the compass and took off.

I knew it was a little windy, but I didn't think it was as windy as it appeared with the P3S. It was blowing around quite a bit, definitely the windiest I've had it out in. I only flew it around until the battery was around 60% and my hands were cold and the wind just kept gusting. My kid's friends were duly impressed so my job was done.

Is 60% a reasonable place to leave the battery at level wise, or should I try to discharge it more?

Hello, until reach 30 is OK

50-65% is perfect, 30% is low if you are not planning on recharging for a day.

Thanks guys! I would be charging it again before I use it, but I was curious about storing it after usage wondering if I should consider discharging it further.

Don't worry about it, the baterry auto discharge itself after a few days

Hello Sir!
As long as the battery is below 65%, You have absolutly nothing to fear..

I have attatched a file of the manual, and it seems like the P3S' discharge function stops at the point of 65%
