0% is a virtual size, it is the voltages that counts after all. I always have my batteries cool at least an hour before recharge, standing on the long side with the went holes up/down creating a natural air flow through it.
As far i know it is not even possible to recharge before it has cooled down due to the temperature sensor inside, of course it should not be put in a drawer without charge but i am sure OP did not think of doing this.
I guess when it reaches minimum voltage the % figure will have been corrected to 0, just like when it reaches maximum it is corrected to 100%, I assume that happens at 8%, hence the instructions to take it to <8% occasionally.
It should be OK to plug it into the charger straight away, it will only start charging when it is cool enough. Normally it will be better to wait but staying at 0% is not good so might be best to just plug it in, it wont be hot at 0% anyway unless you were flying at 1600ft on a windy day when it reached critical landing voltage!
The warning was for people that might leave it discharging and then only get around to charging the next day, or maybe next weekend. |
