Lots of comments here -- and agree with most -- that LIPO's are tricky and need to be respected.
I have a Phantom 2 vision plus, a Phantom 3 Pro and two Typhoon H'.s.
I've had the Phantom 2 VP for 2.5 years -- 3 batteries -- all still good and at 89% of their life (according to the DJI Flight Assistant Desk-top software). Total flying hours on this unit is well over 40 hours. So far, so good. I do completely discharge the batteries until they won't fire up and recharge to 100%. Then I use a battery discharger to bring them back down to 50% for storage. I do this about every 20 charge cycles as recommended by DJI.
I never store the batteries in the craft. I do store them in cinder blocks on the basement floor during the winter months (long storage) and in fire proof metal boxes during the flying season between flights.
I don't like the fact that the Typhoon H batteries don't have any indicators for charge level -- need a volt meter, connect to the H and monitor via the ST16, or connect the H to the Desktop software to monitor.
I have noticed on the Typhoon Charger that the last 10 minutes or so of charging, the red-charging indicator light blinks faster and the current draw drops significantly (I use a wattage monitor on the chargers). I believe these last few minutes are used for cell balancing. From what I've read, cell balancing is very important and if this step is skipped, you may end up with cell disparities that could cause abnormal heat during discharge or shortened cell / battery life. I am no expert on these things, but from what I've read I think the cell balancing is important.
I wish someone would market a Typhoon dis-charger as they do for the Phantoms, but until then, yes -- I have to let the unit idle without props until it's depleted to 50%. I sometimes use the Typhoon H desktop software while monitoring and help it along a bit by pressing the test motors function. I also let the camera spin 360 constantly to help draw down the voltage. However, the best and fastest way is to simply fly it.
Yes -- a lot of information about LIPO's is available on the net. There's also a very good video about how well fireproof boxes and bags really work. This video is 11 minutes -- but really covers all the "fire-proof" options with actual tests:
Again, all good advice above regarding LIPO Battery care.
And, at the risk of hearing a lot of feedback, I do have to make one comment about those who demand that you do a job in a moment's notice -- presenting the need to keep a charged battery on hand. I understand a need to not have to tell a client to wait an hour. I have 3 chargers and could have 3 batteries up to charge in just about an hour. With all the respect in the world and understanding there are some situations where it's completely plausible for this to occur, I might suggest (and here it comes) to be very careful of "on demand" clients who have a "get it done now" attitude. I'll suggest that battery charging issues may not be the only issue to prepare for with these types of clients who may not fully understand all the risks and preparations required to put these devices safely in the air. Perhaps some education for them would be best (unless you're covering news stories). I've prepared a whole presentation for clients about safe flying and all the things that we have to do ensure safety. Once they understand, perhaps they'll back off a bit from a "Gotta have it now" premise.
