Hi,

I know we shouldn't store the batteries fully charged for more than a few days as it can cause the cells to swell etc.
If not planning to use the Phantom during the working week is there a minimum level the battery should be at?

My batteries were both used over the weekend and are sub 20% at present and one is under 10%.
I won't get chance to use it again until the weekend but I'm not sure whether I should charge them to around 50%.

Thanks,

Steve

They should be fine at those levels for a week. The recommended storage charges are 3.80-3.85v per cell.

Thanks. Do I need to power up the Phantom and check using the app to see the cell voltages or does that relate to % in some way?
