Battery storage - hibernation mode

[iflyby]

I have been going through the DJI info about the hibernate mode for the Mavic 3 and Avata 2 batteries. I have several almost new (5 cycles or so) batteries that I would like to leave in storage for a year.


Any opinion on if I can trust them to go into hibernate mode and not get damaged, or do I need to leave them sitting in the chargers and have someone turn the chargers on for a few hours perhaps every other month? I have the three battery charger for both types of batteries.

Before you store them Charge or discharge your batteries to 60%.
Every month check them and charge to 60%
DO NOT forget them for more than a month,and DO NOT charge them to 100% and store them.

They are smart batteries, you can charge them to 100%, they'll auto discharge to 60% in a few days.

You want to check every now and then if they are still at 60% (you can tell by the LEDs that turn on) and cycle them every 6 months or so (fly or use them as a powerbank to 10-15%, recharge to 100% and leave them 6 months more).

The most important thing is that they don't fully discharge, if they sit at low voltage (0%) for an extended period of time they'll die prematurely, so check them.
