Because when LIPO are fully charged at 100%, if not used, they can inflate. All LIPO manufacturer do recommend not to store the LIPO at 100% capacity for that reason..
In one day the DJI battery goes down to 96%, so yes you are misunderstanding their statement.. I just checked my Mini3P and after no use for 3 weeks, they are all three down to 2 LED...
Thanks, that's fair. I now see what I did in my misinterpretation! :O Stupid me, I misread that quote to mean that the batteries are discharged with 4% remaining power after one day! LOL
I understand that LiPo's should not be kept at 100% nor allowed to fall to 0%.
Maybe I'm unique? It's normal for me to not use my drone for months (I live in the middle of a big city). But I swear, I have never experienced 100% battery drainage in just 3 months on any of my previous drones.
Now that I am aware of the potential issue, I will check the batteries weekly and plot a discharge curve. Two batteries remain in the charging caddy, and one is pulled out.
What I expect to see is that after 9 days, where the battery have been discharged to about 60% or optimal charge level, the discharge rate should settle in at a normal LiPo discharge rate 2% per month.
If my batteries are fully discharged within 3 months, I think that is a problem.
Thanks again for your reply. |
