There was a previous thread that for the life of me I cannot find again for some reason that covered a gentleman talking about how he needed to always have his drone capable of flying immediately despite all the hoo-ha of the batteries needing to be at storage level and asked for any advice on what a man was to do in such a circumstance.
This is something that I have been trying to solve as well. I bought a Gifi 8050 mAH battery and set it to storage charge on a SkyRC e680 to see how long I would be able to fly for, if it all. The day before I did the same with an older, original Yuneec battery that is 6,400 mAH. That lasted a good 15 - 20 seconds in the air at best before I was getting the first low voltage warning.
The Gifi 8050 gave me about 7:45 of flight time at storage charge, compared to the Yuneec 6400 at storage charge.
A) This is a potential solution for some people, potentially. Use that one (8050) and throw another on the charger right away.
B) Does this do any damage to the drone or battery to run it at storage charge? I wouldn't think so, but I don't know for certain.
