By recycling you mean stop using them and put to recycle bin? Interesting issue, I guess if you notice shorter flight times, then they are starting to detoriate. I have a lot of Lipos that I use for RC airplanes and helicopters. They are not smart, but I usually balance charge them to hopefully give them longer life. You should not discharge them too much either. I think that the DJI batteries are good, since they are smart and will automatically discharge to a storage level if not used for a while. I suppose they will have quite a long lifespan, probably several hundred charges. Sorry for my bad English.
Hi MikaelBe,
Yes, that was the gist of the post. I too have several other homebuilds and oddles of batteries that I balance charge, then discharge when not in use. Perhaps these batteries are what the exclusions are targeting. I know I have a number of older batteries that have very short flight times - but I still keep them. (Perhaps I'm a hoarder) :-)
I can see where flying some of these could create an incident in the wrong circumstances.
Yes, DJI batteries mind the health of the battery very well. Still, I'm not sure what the insurance companies expect of a 107 ticket holder documentation wise.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply.
