Although I've been taking good care of my Inspire batteries, at least one is showing some signs of weakening. All 4 of them were charged 40-50 times. Not really much, but - to be honest - they're about 3 years old. No warnings whatsoever, questioned battery state checked OK before flight with aircraft idling on the ground. Once in the air, however, the voltage drops rapidly below green zone, without even pushing the throttle much. True, it's cold now and it takes a while until this battery reach it's recommended 25C temp, but the voltage never goes back to green zone and the power rapidly deteriorates. Seems like she's ready to retire. What would be the best way to confirm this suspicion, eventually try to revitalize the battery in question?
