Sorry if it has been asked but a subject search didn't turn up anything specific. What's the expectation if you were to keep batteries in the charging hub for a prolonged time while it's connected to power? After reaching 100%, is it going to discharge to 60% after 9 days? Or is the hub going to try to "top it off?"

Hello there PandaCheese. Good day and thank you for reaching out. It would be best to disconnect the power supply of the DJI charging hub once the DJI intelligent flight batteries are fully charged to avoid any unwanted issues that might occur in the future use of your DJI intelligent flight batteries. Thank you.

The batteries will charge to 100% and then self discharge until you remove and re apply power.

This suggests that it would be OK, to leave them in the hub (I use only the DJI charging hubs) with the power on, since they won't over charge.

Is that right?

Thx,

I leave my batteries on the hub, I just turn it off.

Take my upvote for actually answering OP's question.
This is good to know, even though I usually unplug after its fully charged.

I tend to unplug too Bashy,  but thats only because as soon as they are charged I'm out flying again.

The power here has been off as much as it's been on for the last month. Fortunately my UPS keeps everything up until I can get the generator fired up.

Ah, there's a problem then as each time your power changes, it will power up the hub and this you do not want. I would pull the cable from the hub after the charge is complete. Then the night before flying, plug it back in.
