Charger showing %

[Jeplane]

Now that I’ve upgraded to the Mavic, I am attempting to keep my Spark batteries around 40% for long term storage, as I do not plan to fly it much anymore.

I am not looking forward to turn the Spark on, connect to it, watch for battery percentage, turn it off, swap battery, restart the process (I have 5 batteries...)

Are you aware of a charger which would indicate a percentage so I could find the status of the batteries without using the Spark?

Thanks

Batteries will auto discharge to 65% after 3 days of no use
Best to maintain 40-65% charge

...So charge to 100%, set a reoccurring calendar on google/apple/etc in ~2 weeks to CHARGE AGAIN and repeat the process.

The spark batts are hard coded to start discharging after 10 days you can not change it.

I would just recharge the spark battery’s every 2 months and let them do there thing . It’s nice having smart batteries. My batteries for my Q-500 are not smart batteries and it is a pain .

You don't need to plug the batteries into anything (Spark, charger, etc) to check the charge level. Simply press the button (once) on the back of the battery, and it will show you it's current charge level.
