Battery was lost and I found it 2 months later.
Can I still expect the same performance and will it last as long as it used to?
Yea I misplaced it. Have other batteries so could still fly but still happy I found it! Lol@Go_Birds89 I am just wondering, how did you lose a battery for two months, misplaced it?
Anyways, unless the battery was at zero percent for two months, I would think the battery should come back up and perform as normal.
There are some good battery experts on this board and you should hear from them went they get to this post, just provide more details.
Thanks bud! Got a Spark last month and absolutely love it!BTW - welcome to the board!
Why don't you charge and see...Battery was lost and I found it 2 months later.
Can I still expect the same performance and will it last as long as it used to?
You seem to know your way around the batteries. Is it normal if I don't fly for 2weeks or so and on full battery discharges about %10-%15 of the battery? Will it keep losing more charge over longer period of time or will it stay at that-%15?DJI batteries will self discharge to safe storage voltage on their own and hold that charge indefinitely unless damaged or exposed to extreme temperatures. Nothing to worry about. They are virtually fool proof. DJI Go 4 will give you the battery status and you will get alerts if the battery is defective. It amazes me that some people answer questions with smarts *** remarks like why not try it. If you dont know the answer , dont answer, dont be compelled to post just to belittle a question. Thats why forums exist. Jeepers man!
TyHere is what the battery manual says:
Battery Storage
- Discharge the battery to 40%-65% if it will NOT be used for 10 days or more. This can greatly extend the battery life.
- The battery automatically discharges to below 65% when it is idle for more than 10 days to prevent it from swelling. It takes approximately 3 days to discharge the battery to 65%. It is normal that you may feel moderate heat emitting from the battery during the discharge process. Set the discharging thresholds in the DJI GO 4 app.
- DO NOT store the battery for an extended period after fully discharging it. Doing so may over-discharge the battery and cause irreparable battery cell damage.
- The battery will enter hibernation mode if depleted and stored for a long period. Recharge the battery to bring it out of hibernation.
- Remove batteries from the aircraft when stored for an extended period.
