I am interested in knowing what folks in these fields do regarding battery management - in this case Phantom 4 batteries - in order to maximize battery health per DJI's recommendations - while at the same time, having the UAV available on short notice for an incident that may arise.
The back story is that I have my original P4 with 4 batteries, and I have always been very meticulous when it comes to battery management. I have the self drain time set to 3 days on each battery for cases where weather and other factors disallow flying when I intended to, and when I do fly, I rarely run a battery down below 40%.
I have an upcoming opportunity to demo my P4 to my Town's Emergency Management in order to give them an idea of the technology and possibly use it toward training users to safely and properly use a UAV in this field, and this could lead to them purchasing a more complex system that is better equipped for their needs, but even so, this question of battery management would still apply, and I want to be able to discuss this accurately based on the procedures of others.
