❓ How should I store and maintain my drone batteries?

Proper storage and maintenance are crucial for drone battery longevity:

• Store at 40-50% charge (never fully charged or empty)
• Keep in a cool, dry place (15-25°C/59-77°F)
• Use a LiPo-safe bag for storage
• Check for physical damage before each use

The FAA guidelines recommend regular inspection of batteries for signs of damage or swelling. For long-term storage, check charge levels monthly and recharge to 40-50% if needed. Never store batteries in extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, and always follow manufacturer-specific guidelines for maintenance.
