Discharging and Storage Charger

[PAW]

Was about to pull the trigger on this as I wanted a charger which will also discharge to 65% for battery storage. Multiple good reviews.

RCGEEK Mavic 2 Pro Charger Hub



Then I spotted this one with only a single review, although that was a 5-star review.

Tercel Battery Home Charger


Anyone here have any experience with the second option (Tercel Battery Home Charger)?

The RCGEEK charger can only charge batteries up to 65% (or 100%). It's not able to discharge batteries down to 65%.

If you really need to discharge your Mavic 2 batteries, you can use the IRCtek battery discharger.

Sorry, didnt notice the discharge part...

Reduce to 0% isn`t dangerous?

Good catch!
I only need to do a single battery at a time and this one is much less expensive.
Thanks

60-65% for storage. When reconditing is due, charging them to 100% then down to 0% then back up to storage level. Wouldn't store at 0%.

Thanks for explanation....

3.8v per cell or slightly more is all you need. It is not difficult - just hover bird for 5min or so. No extra devices are needed for that.

Just a thought: Why buy a third party discharger when you can save your money by using the adapter that DJI provides to charge other devices such as your phone?
Ok you don’t know the discharge level but you say you’re going to recharge up to 65% straight away.
Take care and catch you later. Peter

There is an incredible amount of information, rumor, and intelligencia regarding battery health in this forum. I don't pretend to understand most any of it. Without repeating another lengthy thread, take a look at this one Peter as it applies to discharging Mavic2 batteries. Mavic 2 battery discharger

I got the Tercel charger a couple of weeks ago. I have only used it twice, but it worked as advertised. Some things I noticed:
- It charges 4 batteries in parallel (I could only test with 3). The current to each battery is 3A, which is lower than most chargers, but all the batteries are being charged at the same time, so all were charged (from about 25%) to full in 90 minutes.
- There is no USB cable, so you need to charge the remote elsewhere.
- It has two discharge modes, the first discharges the batteries to 40% to 60%. I tried this twice and it worked well. It can also do a complete discharge, which I have not tried.
Overall, I am very satisfied so far.
