Battery Charging?

[Badgersurfer]

As my batteries are set to discharge every 3 days I have to keep check regularly to view their level. As I am a DroneSAR volunteer I may get a request t any time. What I would like to know is whether it is OK to leave the batteries permanently on charge on the 4 battery hub? That way i know they are always fully charged if required.

Charge the battery. Whatever discharge day you have it set to, just hit the power button one time prior to the last day of discharge sequence and it will reset that sequence of discharge back to day one.

Charger will only charge and then quit. It won’t keep them charged.
See STARZ’ post above.

Leaving the batteries on the charger will not continuously charge them. They will take their initial charge to full, and if they are then left on the charger, they will enter trickle down based on their setting - which you have set to three days. They will then only recharge after you remove them and place them back on the charger, or after you unplug the charger brick and allow it to power down.

As suggested by @Starz, your best bet is the power button workaround which resets the trickle down timer. Alternatively, you could get a third party charger that allows charging multiple batteries simultaneous which would significantly reduce your response time.

Or rotate batteries

Would never had guessed that. I would have thought they would discharge a certain amount and then charged back up again. Good to know, guess they really are smart batteries.

I didn't know they wouldn't automatically recharge. I consistently rotate the batteries, as I have 4 batteries and 2 DJI chargers. This does help reduce the time needed to recharge them all. Useful information you have given me here... Thank you...

No,
It actually makes a lot of sense doing what you said it did before by shutting down the charger. This way it doesn't short cycle charge the batteries everytime it discharges. Easy enough to check I guess but like you said rotating is a better idea anyways.
