Battery question

Post by DOG »

Hey all, I know that you can charge more then one battery at a time but when it comes to discharge or storage charge, can you do more then one battery at a time or do you have to do it one battery at a time? Hope that make sense. :oops:

I typically don't discharge w my charger if I can help it. Takes too long.. I spool up & hover a pack down in the front yard/driveway to dump a pack if I have a leftover.

Normally I try and fly my packs. What ends up happening is I'll have 1 or 2 for discharge. I will do one at a time. One thing to watch is your equality in charge. You don't want to over discharge your packs.

If I'm unable to fly the packs, I use my para-boards when storage charging (discharging). I don't have patience to charge/discharge/storage one battery at a time any more :)

Follow the same rules for discharge as when para-charging.
