I am anything but an expert on drones. I bought a Mavic Platinum and have fun using it, but certainly not daily. Most of my usage would be spontaneous, impromptu usage such as nice sunrises, sunsets, unusual activity or events worthy of drone use, etc. As someone wanting to maximize my battery life, I don't store them fully charged. Usually they sit in their little drone battery cases with 20-30% charge on them, which means if I want to fire up the drone and use it, I either have to wait 20-30 minutes while they charge or suffer a very short flight.
I was wondering if it is ok to leave the battery in the charger? Obviously you would leave it there for weeks at a time without using it, but what about leaving it there and using the battery 2-3 times a week? If I could do this, I'd run my drone a lot more often. As it is, it's sort of a PITA to have to charge it before each usage.
Is there a middle-ground that doesn't reduce the life of the battery drastically but allows "instant" access to the drone when desired?
