Battery condition after more than one year?

[ndaru]

Dear Spark owners,

I'm just wondering, for those of you who have flew the Spark frequently for more than one year, or have logged more than 1000 km, when did you start to notice any decline in battery health related to the flight time? And how many seconds/minutes?

Thanks.

I have been flying since July 2017 and I haven't noticed a significant loss in performance.

Good to know that. May I ask, how many kilometers or miles that you have logged?

Looks like 41 hours, 362,000 feet (110 km) with 480 flights.

I started with 3 batteries, then 6, and now 9 because of good deals that come and go. All of them are the old design that were manufactured in June 2017.

Hope you’ve left a few batteries on the shelves, we’re visiting down in Naples FL on 1 May and I need at least 2\3 more. I’m existing on the pair that came with my Best Buy Fly More Combo in April last year and they seem to be going strong still. Nearly a quarter of a million feet, 137 flights and 15 hours.

The sooner you add in a couple more batteries to that rotation the better off you'll be. Spread the load out a bit.

I checked with a Best Buy store in Naples and they have one.
I checked the other three stores in the area (20 miles) and they have one each.

I don't know if you can order on line from where you are at, and have some batteries ready for you to pick up when you get there.



Good luck.

That is so kind of you thank you. We have friends in the City so will ask them to pop in and snap up a couple.
