Hi everyone,

To be honest, i'm strugling with the way to handle my TB47 and TB48 batteries. Here's how I handle them now:

- after flight, I always try to empty the battery below 5%;
- as soon as possible I charge the batteries full;
- then I store them to the next flights. Sometimes it takes 1 day, sometimes it takes 14 days to the next flght.

Questions:

1. is it ok the full charge the batteries and keep them stored until the next flight?
2. if not, how do I charge the batterie less then 100%? Pure counting the lights during charging?
3. 1 of my TB47 batteries keeps asking for a full charge cycle. I tried to empty the battery a couple of times to below 5% and then a full charge. Without any result! :-(

Thanks in advance,
Alex

I would fly them down to 30% and then leave them that way until you are ready to fly. Then charge them up. Don't charge them unless you are going to fly.

No need to fly it down to 5% unless you are attempting to calibrate them.

The one battery that is giving you a hard time, leave it on until it shuts down on its own. Then recharge to 100%. Maybe do this just before you fly the next time.

Don't charge them up to 100% and then let them sit for 2 weeks. It will discharge by that time anyway.
