Hey Guys,

For P3A battery of the drone, what is the best way to store it for a longtime ? empty (8% max) or between 40% to 65% ?

What about the controller battery?

Thanks,

Long term storage at 50% on each.

50%, and DO NOT put them in freezer!

8% or less???  No.  Below 8% will likely shorten the life considerably.  As others have said, around 50%.

Good question as winter closes in on the Midwest. I will probably not do much flying.

So, drain to 50%? Should I recharge occasionally and then discharge to back 50%?

If over 3 months then i would cycle it,  store at 50% in a cold location, not in fridge but the coldest place in your house 5-15c ideally, make sure they have plenty of ventilation and finally keep an eye on them just in case.

These are smart packs but a lipo is still inherently unpredictable at times.
