[QUOTE="Pe11e, post: 36786, member: 7296"] Well, just bought the third battery, and started thinking about the battery management. It's highly irritating. Why? First, you must PREDICT will you ground your Spark for couple of weeks, to keep your batteries between 25 and 75% (per recommendation). In my case that is not gonna happen simply because I always finish the flight around 15-20% of battery left. So I guess I must charge the batteries up to 50%, and put them in the bag? And when I want to fly, take them again and charge them to 100%? That's just idiotic if you ask me, but again, Li-Po technology is old. So, you either land the Spark around 30%, or fly as usual and charge them to 50ish % after the flights, in the case you will not fly for few days or weeks. Also, there was a couple of times when I planned to fly the next day, charged the batteries to 100% the night before, and for some reason I couldn't fly (bad weather, errands, etc). So how I discharge the batteries to 50ish % to keep them healthy? I know the batteries have some kind of automatic discharge, but it is obviously way to slow. After few days I checked them, all were still 100%. How do you fiddle with battery management? Should I care a lot, or they are indeed intelligent that much? [/QUOTE]
