I had the question too, just the opposite ;-) After I always fly all 3 batteries empty, I charge all 3. Why should I now discharge the 100% charged batteries if I don't fly for 3 weeks or so and what happens if I don't. No answer so far, except "the battery should have between 45 and 60% charge", but that wasn't the question. And another open question : Why is the battery called an intelligent battery ?
What we’re discussing here is one of the considerable difficulties faced when trying to make a successful electric car.
Batts are now recommended to be charged only to 80 % for normal use whatever that is, because charging to 100% or draining to less than about 25% has a detrimental result on battery performance and life, as does rapid charging, all of which adds to the , in my view, unsuitability of present battery technology for car propulsion.
As mentioned above, people want 100% all the time, ready to go, which Is but one reason why electric cars fail to sell.
So, pay your money, and take your choice!
