If I charge all 3 of my batteries how and put them in a my carrying case.  How long will they hold a full charge?  A week or just a couple of days?

They will automatically discharge to 60% for reserving after 10 days so at least it can hold for 9 days.

ok thanks for the quick reply.  So If I charge all of my batteries today,, next Sunday they should be at or close to 100%.

Correct, my suggestion is keep your battery about 60% (3rd led blinking) and just fully charge it before flight to extend its life and reduce battery faulty. Have safe flights!

Be careful fully charged battery is more risky for fire. Not recommended to store for long time. Better charge before you fly.

@NitemareTrainer, if you want your batteries to have a long life, it would be best to only charge them the day or day before you plan to fly. You can find a complete list of other battery best practices here.

Remember 10 days is the default discharge time.  If you know you'll need them full longer than that you can adjust the time in Go4

I am a bit curious on your batteries for the MA. According to the specification the total flight time from 100% to 0% battery should be 20-21 minutes, best case.
I have now been over my flightlogs and do not see any of these having a predicted flight time that is more than 18 minutes.
What experience do you have on this topic?

21 minutes is the maximum flight time from 100% to 0% battery power. In the real world you can only use up 70% battery power. The remain 30% is reserve for safty and handle unexpected situation. It's also help to keep the battery healthy. Use better power close to 0% will reduce battery life and also danger. Your drone will force to land if bettery too low.

Thank you.  That answers my question.  So I guess after 6-7 days, the batteries do lose a charge just being stored.

Yes the default time to discharge is set at 10 days in the app. Mine is set on 2 days. After the time that you set goes by it will start to discharge to 60% and that also takes time (3 days if I remember correctly)

However it is not good for the batteries health to keep it stored at 100% for extended periods!

Thanks for this link.  I was about to ask this question as I had my batteries sitting for over a week due to travel and I came back to find them at 60%.  I thought this was strange as they are new, but now I know that this is their intended function...

Your suggested app does not work, I suggest trying Freedom APK or APK Time.
