It's time to cycle your batteries.

I have just charged my Mavic 2 batteries to 100%, after not using them since january.

Will it damage the batteries if i just let them sit to the 10 day automatic discharge begins?

Just read that letting them sit fully charge even for a few days could damage them.

I would say they will be fine. I have been using lipos since 2004 and have never had an issue with quality batteries. Some disagree due to what they have read online but almost every case of a lipo fire, swelling, or rapid discharge has been due to cheap packs that had a known defect or were abused in one way or another. These batteries self discharge what's not to love? Now if I had batteries sitting for 4 months without use I would put them at 3.8v per cell, just a storage charge.

A little off topic. I have an electric lawn mower with 36V Lithium ion battery. I normally put it on the charger the day prior to when I plan to mow and leave it in its partially discharged condition when finished mowing, similar as I do with my Mavic batteries. Is this the best way to maintain them.
