Happy Thanksgiving everyone! newbie here, i have a M2P and 1 battery. i am guessing it would be nice to have a second- any real reason to have more??? Seems that you can charge one while your flying. Thoughts????
You also want the battery to cool down before recharging it. I typically wait 30 minutes between flights before putting them on the charger. Therefore, I would recommend a third battery as well.Happy Thanksgiving everyone! newbie here, i have a M2P and 1 battery. i am guessing it would be nice to have a second- any real reason to have more???

Exactly 5 batteries are required.Happy Thanksgiving everyone! newbie here, i have a M2P and 1 battery. i am guessing it would be nice to have a second- any real reason to have more??? Seems that you can charge one while your flying. Thoughts????
This makes second item you posted that I have bought! Available in the states via Amazon.How can you charge one when flying ? Nowhere to plug in a charger when you are away from home.
I would say 3 is a minimum for a day out. I have 5 & can easily get through them, the Smart Controller easily lasts for the 5
Incidentally I want THIS but currently not available ?
its on ebay. not sure on UK shipping though. just google the name from the amazon listingHow can you charge one when flying ? Nowhere to plug in a charger when you are away from home.

Dang, that means I'm going to need 4!I leave the batteries in my drones.
A lot of people will say not to store a battery in the drone and have either data, manufacturers warnings or past experience to back it up and they are not wrong because there is always a chance of swelling or thermal runaway but at the same time when you look at a lot of peoples kits they may have multiple batteries randomly thrown in the bags on top of each other or stored in flame retardant pouches that by definition trap heat inside helping to accelerate runaway but will hopefully contain it long enough to dispose of them before the leak or fire spread because the heat has nowhere to go. In an instance like the case posted above all that foam, usually epdm, buna or rubatex, will definitely trap heat like crazy and doesn't allow for much if any air flow to cool down a battery so having one in the drone really comes down to whether you want to risk it swelling inside and not being able to get it out. I tend to keep a battery in the drone during transport and have occasionally forgotten to take everything out of my bag at the end of the day but don't normally long term store( 2 days or more for me) a battery in the drone or case.OK another battery question as long as we are talking batteries. I'm a newby with a MA2. When I pack my drone up in the case can I leave a battery in the drone or should I take it out ?
My case has 3 battery holes so thats how many I will probably end up with. (to answer the OPs question)View attachment 117871
Flying a what????I leave mine in the drone with no worries. I would first buy as many batteries as your case will hold. Mine holds a total of three and that is good for fun flying, they give you about an hour. It might even be enough for real estate or commercial real estate depending on what you have to do. If you’re flying an orthophoto or photogrammetry you’ll definitely want more batteries. I always seem to be recharging the three batteries in the truck when I have to make a map.
