Battery discharge help

[DaveisinIndy]

First post here...great to discover this forum and read these great posts.

I have not had my H in the air for over 6 months. Batteries were fully charged after last flight.
I have 3 batteries and the charger that came with the unit. Should I discharge and recharge prior to returning to the air ? If so no do I discharge them...simply by inserting and doing low controlled flights?

Thanks...

Put them in your charger if it shows them as charged fly them. If you are going to store your batteries for longer than a week, they need to be at a storage voltage. I normally don't store mine charged for longer than 3 days. Storage voltage is 3.8v per cell.

It's pretty hard to discharge them without some type of special fixture. I finally bought one of these chargers that has a storage function. It charges two batteries at once in 40 minutes and discharges two in about 240 minutes. That's really good.

I to find it alot better to use a 3rd party charger I use the battery leads that venom sells and I have 2 - 4 port chargers I can charge 8 batteries at a time in 25 mins from storage mode and I always put my batteries in storage whenever I finish flying them.
