❓ How should I store and maintain my drone batteries?

Proper drone battery storage and maintenance is crucial for longevity and safety:

• 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 specific safety practices for lithium battery storage and transport. Regular maintenance includes checking voltage levels, performing calibration cycles every 20-30 flights, and inspecting for swelling or damage.
