I'm looking at buying a used Mavic pro2 FlyMore bundle that's had less than an hour's total flight time BUT it looks like it's not been used in ages. Will the batteries be knackered? Do they cope okay?
 
Nobody can answer this seriously. It depends so much on how the batteries have been handled by the previous owner. E.g. if he has stored the batteries over long time discharged (from last flight) there is a big chance they are defective now. Same for the battery within the remote controller.
 
My concern is a lot less now as the original last flight details I was given was for another of his drones. This was only a couple of months back. It should be okay.

Thanks all.
 
I read somewhere that you need to fully charge the battery every 3 mth to maintain their conditions, I guess if the seller has done something like then there is less of an issue.
But as everyone has said it's a bit of crap shoot, just be prepared to buy some new batteries and if you don't have too that's a bonus.
