The quick fix is to place a thin spacer (length of bamboo skewer in my case) to prevent batteries from making an electronic connection while in the charger. This solution lets you keep using the charger for storage of fully charged batteries and maintains a nice fit in the carry bag.
@bambikiller75 My understanding is the batteries are supposed to drain over time. Lithium batteries should never be left fully charged for extended periods of time. Doing this will shorten the life of the batteries, so they are designed to discharge themselves.
@@allabouthim03 yeah, I know that, but it's equally bad to drain them too much if not worse. And it seems that the charger keeps draining, because a while ago I knew I had roughly 25-27% left in the batteries after a flight, and I didn't charge them up. Then I had a qyick photo opportunity a week later and 25% should be plenty enough for a quick flight. But when I put the batteries into the drone, one was at 7% and the next 3%... but I store them out of the charger from now on. Thnx for good info.
@bambikiller75 I see, that why I was afraid to keep them in the charger. I always keep mine separate from the charger. I would think being plugged into the charger would cause a parasitic drain over time.
Great video, excellent information. That would explain why my batteries don't discharge like they should while in the hub!
Good to know, thanks.
The batteries of my Potensic Atom are in the charging hub, the same for the DJI Air 3 , not important !
Great tips, thank you for your attention, I'm here making lots of videos with my Potensic Atom in Rio de Janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷

Great idea 💡!
So does that mean we can store it when the battery is low?
I personally would not "store" them in the hub, even if they are low.
@@allabouthim03 thank you so much
Anyone beside me noticing that the hub actually keep draining the batteries? Leave them in for a week, and they drop to 70-75%...
