How to take care of batteries and electronic props

Today, we mostly use Li-Ion or Li-Po batteries. These batteries are really good at packing a large capacity in the small cell and that's why they are commonly used in most electronic products today.

Using batteries is a common practice and there is not much to say, but the most important topic is how to store your batteries (products) over a longer period of time.

When a battery is fully charged, or fully depleted - in these scenarios the chemistry in the battery is on its very edge and tends after some time to lose capacity. If stored depleted, it can eventually totally die. 

That's why you never want to play with your prop and leave it depleted afterward in your closet.

Make sure your electronic props are NEVER LEFT WITH EMPTY BATTERY.

It is always recommended to store props with batteries charged, not depleted. If you want to get the most of them - the best way is to store batteries charged to about 70% capacity. You can fully charge your props and leave them shine for a moment, to have more optimal battery capacity for the storage. But if you want a quick way, store them charged but definitely not depleted.

Make sure you store props at room temperature and in dry condition. Cold temperatures make lower the battery capacity and humid environments can damage the electronics connections and create oxidation.
