[QUOTE="cozzykim, post: 37397, member: 6499"] No on board controller, so different in some respects, but last year I gave away an Esky Honey Bee CP2 that had sat in my loft for a few years in its box with the batteries 3/4 charged. Before I handed it over I checked the battery voltages, and they still had more than 2/3 charge, enough to give the heli a last test take off. The batteries have been fine since, according to its new owner. I note, however, that my 3 Spark batteries have lost about 30% charge after sitting idle for a couple of weeks. :eek: This can only be due to the BCE (batt control electronics) in the Spark batteries. EDIT: I forgot, I did a video at the time... [MEDIA=youtube]97DDQK2jD9A[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
