Thanks for your response. I put all three batteries on the charging station that came with the drone. When I take them off and try to use they only are charged at 50% how can I fix that? The batteries are only 4 months old, and I don’t fly that much

The batteries are at 100 percent right off the charger.  They will be that way if you fly it right away.  However, the intelligent battery has a battery management circuit built into it that will discharge the battery to 50 percent if it is stored for over a week.  Ten days maybe.  Storing a battery at 100 percent is not good for it so the intelligent battery protects itself.

I cycle my usage of my three batteries so I am often taking one out that has not been used in awhile and it will be at 50 percent.  I still don't have any problems and never fly it out of power.  You will have to charge them the same day you fly, or within a day or two, if you want to fly with 100 percent batteries.

Oh perfect, so I just need to put them on the charger to 100 % right before I fly.

Is there a stronger longer lasting battery I can buy for the spark?
