With or without battery??

[Javierz0509]

Is it better to store your drone with the battery on or off? how do you guys do it?

Leave a battery in the drone... but it’s an M2P and batteries are different.

I’ve always kept a battery in all mine. Can carry 4 batterys in case instead of 3. Better or not I’ve never had any issues.

Same here!

 

[Camino Ken]

Always keep one in the drone with no issues.

Always one in the drone, it should not affect anything in a negative way.

I remove the battery to cool down, before putting away in the drone case

That's an M2A, but it's all the same really. The battery can be stored in the drone (just like DJI packs them for sale).

I started doing this...and now just leave my batteries out ready to be charged before the next flight(s).

Never thought about it. I keep one in the drone and the other 2 in the bag. Helps me know what one to use next. Goes like this:

Battery B is in the drone and charged -- Fly B next.
Battery C is in the drone and not charged -- Fly A next.

(I'll not list all 6 combinations.)

While it is pretty much unheard of, there is still a chance. I store all batteries away from each other. I will transport them one in drone and other 3 in case. But storing all your eggs in one basket, Drone, 4 batts,Smart Controller, ND's...ect in one place has never gave me the warm fuzzy feeling.

If anything goes wrong with one, you lose it all. And when one battery goes off triggering the others, four batteries burning at the same time is going to make a heck of a mess and risk much more than just a $2000 investment+...But to each their own.

I pull the battery but only for cooling and charging..I always keep a battery in the drone.

I keep my battery in the drone (MM and MA2) after a cool down period.

Actually it's an MA2. They never came out with an A version of the M2, just Z, P, and a few versions of E.
