hello.

i was just wondering is there a percentage i should let the radio battery discharge before i charge it up again?

same thing with the phantom battery... if i used, lets say only 30 percent of the battery and had to stop flying for some reason, could i charge it back up fron 70 percent back to 100 without hurting the battery?

thanks.

When the radio is at 70% battery, you can still do a lot of flights.

I have flown 10 full batteries on a remote and it had plenty of life left in the battery ( iPad on the other hand did not last this long )

As for the Phantom battery, yes you can fly a full pack down to 70% then recharge it full for another. Its not something I would choose to do often but definitely OK for the time when you are asked to do a specific job and it takes you a few minutes

You could also just use the battery at 70% and fly it down to 30%. This is what I would do..
