The information on this forum would tell you that if you plan on not flying for an extended period of time you should NOT store your batteries on the charger. You should discharge them to 50% and recharge them back to % when they go below 40%. There are numerous threads asking for storage mode chargers that would do this automatically. Yet, the stock charger already does this!
I usually fly my Mavic before the 5 days auto discharge starts so I never had a chance to test this. However, it’s been a while since I flew using all my batteries. and some of them have been sitting on the charger for a couple weeks.
I went to pack them up expecting them to be fully charged but no they were at 50% battery level! Meaning the auto discharge happened even though it was on the charger and the charger kept it at 50%.
I only have a Mavic Pro so I can’t speak for the other drones but I suspect this is the case for all of the Mavics (except maybe the mini since it doesn’t auto-discharge?)
I should also note that I use the charging hub so it’s possible this is due to the charging hub and not the battery but I doubt it. It all other cases the battery is the authority that governs it’s own charging and discharging.
Cool feature that isn’t documented by DJI as far as I can find.
