I see that a new charging hub that holds three batteries at a time but only charges them in seuence has been released.

It charges the highest charged battery first then switched to the next battery which will be handy and save a little time as I dont have to swap batteries manualy.
The feature that I am interested in is the storage mode, after a flight I like to recharge my batteries untill the 3rd led start blinking if I am not flying the nest day but if I get distracted I can und up with a fully charged battery.
Has anyone tried this out yet?

I don't bother doing a partial charge for storage.  I fully charge and if I don't use the battery within discharge days set in the app the batteries then discharge themselves to storage voltage.

Read the description...I think...think, that is discharges to 50% first (??) then charges.  I also think that there is a switch on the charger to charge/discharge to 50% for storage.  I would agree with hummingbird.uav that in the Go app you can set your battery storage to start to discharge anywhere from 1 day to 10 days if not in use.

Since the batteries auto discharge, just fully charge them and let the battery discharge feature take care of putting it into storage levels.

I have a 18 month old 22,000mAh battery that has an IR of 140 which I have had fully charged for 2 day maximum. I am not confident with the auto discharge feature as I believe it takes too long.

Agree,

The auto discharge takes 4 to 5 days until it gets it down to around 65% when set to 1 day, the hub is a handy way to get it down to 50 or get it upto 50.

Hello folks,

I wonder how many days until discharge should I put on the Go app if I only fly once a week, and how many days to discharge if I fly twice a week? I really thought I would leave the default 10 day if I fly once or twice a week. Please advise. Cheers!
