Battery maintenance

[Mofroggy]

I am going to have to shut my Neo and RC2 and FPV controller down for a couple of months. Is there anything I need to do to their batteries so that they aren't compromised over that period of time.
Should I leave them fully charged?

A couple of months won't hurt anything.

DJI official says to keep the charge between 60% and 40% for storing the batteries for more than a week.

When charging back up I typically charge to 2 solid lights, then I let it continue for a few more minutes after the 3 light starts to blink. If I'm unsure of where it stands I can always turn it back on to check. I've aways recharge to 50 to 60% if possible after proper cooldown with all my batteries.

The truth is, that these are Li Ion batteries (like most of the smartphones) and don´t really need any kind of maintenance, unlike the simple Li Polymer batteries used in FPV. I don´t fly in winter, so my drones just collecting dust. for like half a year Nothing happens to the batteries. Never had problems with the Spark or my mini 1.

Charge them all, take them out of the charger and you're good. They'll self-discharge to the optimal storage level after a week.

Using nicads and lypos from back in the day has made me over protective, I can't help it.

I don't blame you.
Especially since batteries are very hard to find if at all here in the US.
There's few and very expensive at this point.
