    You CAN store your Mavic batteries on the charger without damaging them

    OK, mine went back into the hub, and are now fully charged. Battery lights have stopped flashing. Pressing the button shows 4 lights. I'll leave them there for a few weeks, see what happens.

    You CAN store your Mavic batteries on the charger without damaging them

    I've done that just recently. Left the Mavic Pro batteries on the hub, and left it all turned on. I forgot about it for weeks and when I checked the batteries off the charger, both had two solid lights, flashing the third. I've just put them back in the hub and they are being charged.
