Very well done video, Tom! Clear and concise. May be you should approach DJI and get sponsored by them and allow them to use your tutorials on their site???

Why not charge both batteries at the same time? Controller & flight battery? Great video by the way. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I saw a table where it says keeping battery at 40% charge (which you've mentioned) AND at 0 degrees Celcius (which is probably a bit too low) reduces battery life to only 98% after 1 year. Any other combination of higher temp and charge greatly reduces battery life (up to 60% after 3 months only with 60 degrees and 100% charge). My question is: do you think keeping battery in a fridge (not freezer) is advisable? It should be as we have around +5-8 degrees in standard fridge.

Great tutorial. Can you change the level that battery discharge to if automatically discharging?

How often should I do a cycle while in storage?
Do I need to?

I shall definitely recommend this channel to any and all DJI Phantom pilots out there. Very detailed and extremely helpful tutorials and videos.

I have got my new phantom 4 yesterday but battery is not charging ! Anyway it's good to know how to fix it

[arjun_jois]

one common question. can i use the battery upto 0% while i fly? As we are to maintain 20% threshold for battery safety, I want to know when it says 0% in the DJIGO app is it really 0% battery capacity, or DJI have set actual 20% to appear 0% in the DJIGO app for the safety user ease? when i use to 35% normally i get around 15min flight time but many say we get 20-22min i wonder if they are flying all the battery they got?

Hi how long can you store away your battery if you dont use your drone?

[jocktv]

Thanks bro 🤙🏾. I just got one yesterday and your video was really helpful 💯👍🏾

[BDwolfy]

Hi... great video. But when you set to discharge the battery for two days, then it discharges another two days... does that mean the battery will discharge to 0 percent?

[JPJPMaburBeres]

do you have examples of maintenance of a battery with 80x or more usage?
Coz I (we) need that information morethan a new battery... :)

[pakko]

Is a generic battery charger fine? Should I look out for any specific features when it comes to voltage and amperage?

[natserog]

Great video!   thanks!    I have 5 batteries for my Phantom. It seems when I don't use for 4 to 5 days when I put them in they only read 60 o 70%? I always charge them after use. Let them cool down then store in my bag. I am going on a backpack trip for couple weeks in the mts and want to have 100% batteries. They have only been charged 5 times so are pretty new...HELP!!

Good morning, I live in Brazil and accompany your channel, I am a fan, I have a P4, if you can take a doubt my .
After 20 charges always have to discharge up to 8 % or only occasionally .
Thank you very much.

[timmy]

Appreciate your work man. I am watching all your tutorials before i open my Phantom 4Pro which I purchased recently

[rogerpowell]

Tom: What about after a flight & lets say your battery is now at 28%, weather turned bad so I know I;m not going to fly for 2-3 days. Is it wise to leave this battery at 28% & charge it closer to my known next flight day?

[nathancarter]

Um if I've left them for over 2 year's will they charge or be any good
