Greetings Fellow Pilots! I just started charging a Q500 battery for the first time. I made the connection using the charging leads I purchased from Carolina Drones. I selected the 3s battery mode. I selected the 1A charge rate thinking low amperage may be the safe choice for an inexperienced operator. I have a couple of questions. When I started the charging cycle the voltage showed around 12.4. The voltage listed on the battery is 11.1. Is this a normal reading. Also, I purchased a new battery. Any special instructions on how to properly charge this battery for the first time? One more question. Is there any benefit to discharging the older batteries then recharging? As always, thank you for your advise!
