[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 100122, member: 894"] I was going to do the same thing, have a few in a box ready to go in the future, but I decided to put them in rotation after reading about brand new batteries that are bricked because they sat too long in a warehouse. The batteries are in hibernation mode until they are activated by the charger. Since the battery is in that state, it still has a little power inside to maintain the hibernation circuitry. If that trickle of power is used up, the battery may be bricked at that point and won't be any use at all. DJI have replaced the batteries under warranty in the past since they may have sat in a warehouse for a long time. I'm not sure about replacing them for the extended amount of time sitting in the house? Here's a Battery Video Guide from [B][I][URL='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW9JACosTnXzREUzH34Z98A']Rick at Drone Valley[/URL].[/I][/B] It's 50 minutes long, but at the [URL='https://youtu.be/EwkX1MnW-Bk?t=2039'][B][I]34:00 minute mark[/I][/B][/URL], he talks about discharging a battery below that point of hibernation. Just thought I'd I pass a little information. [/QUOTE]
