❓ How should I properly store and maintain drone batteries?

Proper drone battery maintenance is crucial for longevity and safety:

• Storage Voltage - Store at 3.8V per cell (about 50% charge)
• Temperature - Keep between 40-70°F (4-21°C)
• Regular Maintenance - Cycle batteries every 3-4 months
• Inspection - Check for damage or swelling before each use

For long-term storage, use a LiPo safe bag and store away from flammable materials. Check charge levels monthly and avoid complete discharge. Most modern drone batteries have built-in protection circuits, but proper care is still essential for maximum lifespan.
