Max Battery Cycles

[rpguy4]

I have (3) Air2s batteries, each with over 120 charge cycles. The batteries are in good shape. I get about 20-22 minutes fly time with each battery. Is there a maximum charge cycles for these batteries ? Since I am holding on to the Air2s, I was thinking about buying an additional battery or 2. Any recommendations as to where to buy additional Air2s batteries ? Thank you

If you treat them well and store them correctly you will see over 200 cycles from your Battery. In another 20-30 cycles you will start to see your flight time degrade. I get my Batteries on Ebay.

DJI warranties all their batteries to 200 cycles. After the 200th charge, you will be notified by your drone to replace the battery. I currently have 4 batteries over 200 charges. One of them is at 237. Monitor the cell health make sure they are all close. If it swells stop using it.

Thanks Matt W and Cafguy. I've also have been uploading my flight logs to AirData to view battery performance, and voltage levels. So far so good.

Get yourself a Hanatora charger with a storage charge option.
After you use the Battery, Charge it to "storage" (60%) and if you don't use it, check it every month and charge it back up to storage (60%) if necessary.
On the day of flight charge them to 100 and use.
Any unused should at least be discharged back to storage.
Doing these things, You will get your 200 cycles and more! Just remember about the time degradation thing when you put the older batts in the drone (I number mine).

I do have that charger, and just never realized it had a storage mode. Thanks Cafguy.
