Aside from the obvious signs like battery swelling, bad cells, or consistent major cell deviations when should you retire a battery?
I have a P3 battery that has over 150 battery cycles and it still seems to be working well. According to Airdata the current battery life is at 72% but it has dipped down below 70% recently. The battery has not shown any major deviations worth noting.
One thing worth noting is that this battery is more than 4.5 years old - a testament to the quality of this PowerExtra battery!
I have 3 other batteries - one newer one with low cycle counts and 2 others with over 100 cycle counts, so I find I am using the batteries with lower cycle counts more now especially when I fly over water. My biggest worry is that the battery will suddenly fail while in flight.
