Marking batteries

[AZrrt]

I see most people number their batteries if they have multiples to keep them all gather equally. Can I just use pair or nail polish. Will it effect the battery in any way or should a sticker?

I would steer clear of nail polish, it may effect (dissolve) the plastic.
I use the number stickers from some old VHS cases that I had stored away - small, but does the job

Here are some number stickers that might work for you:

• Black
• Clear
• White
• Various Colors

Stickers with numbers works great for me

This might sound stupid but is there a good/beneficial reason to number the battery's?

To use them in order, that way you don't "overuse" one more than other. You make like a cycle for example if you have 4 batteries and you use the #1 then #2, etc and then back to #1. That way you keep your batteries with the same amount of charge cycles or very close.

came in late but thats it. I will fly tomorrow and use my #1 battery, then I will charge and fly battery #2 another time and so on.


Question: Should I just wait until all 3 are dead before charging 1 at a time or does it really matter?

Depends on how frequently you are flying in order to prevent having batteries 100 percent charged without been used.

May I respectfully suggest that you read the leaflet that came with your Mavic "Intelligent Flight Battery". Also this may be useful to watch:

I used a sharpie pen on the edge with the leads, to label 'em A B and C. I rotate as they are used.

I just used a sharpie on the bottom. I put a number and the date I purchased.

It's also useful if you buy extra batteries and have an issue, you'll know where it came from.

I used a Sharpie and used the one of the four led's to mark them. Marked one LED on each battery from ButtoN to top.. Lowest LED is 1, next 2 and so on...
