Oh okay, so charge them up and drain them down until they shut themselves off while landed? Or until I see 3.3v, land and turn battery off.
I might fly this weekend, so that's why I'm kinda charging them a little bit so the lipo chemistry can 'wake up' lol. I'm charging them up to 60% as we speak and if I fly this weekend, I'll charge them full and do what you suggested.
When cycling, I take them down to an indicated 0% by hovering a few inches off the deck on a nice soft grass surface, cancelling auto landing and forcing the bird up with the throttle. The idea being that if it suddenly falls to zero, then the aircraft won't crash/be damaged. Follow this up with the charge/fly/charge procedure as above.
This is just occasionally however, or after a prolonged period of storage. (DJI advice was to do this every 20 cycles or so back in the days when there were firmware issues with the batteries.)
My standard flight practice is to land with 30% battery level, and never get below 25%.
We had issues with earlier firmware that saw drops from mid 20's to 5-6% in seconds. Many Inspires were crashed and damaged back then. |
