[QUOTE="maxters, post: 37207, member: 5011"] [B]Worst thing to do: (what everyone wants to do)[/B] Get done flying and recharge batteries to 100% and then put it into their bag and throw it in the car so you can be ready to go if you see something or someplace fun to fly! Doing this will destroy the lipo batteries. Which means the cells can bulge or have internal faults and more. You don't want your UAS to be mid flight, 100' in the air, and then go from 50% charged to 10% and falling. [B]Best thing to do:[/B] Get done flying put the battery away 10-30% charged. Let the intelligent battery controller manage the cells. Keep your flight gear in a place that stays between 70F and 85F. Recharge batteries when you wish to use them. (I'll do it the night before). Make sure the batteries are warm before you fly. There are tons of youtube videos of folks describing the care of a LiPo Battery. I chuckle when I hear novices say.. "I keep my drone in the trunk, so I am always ready to fly!!" [/QUOTE]
