Question about batteries.

[Take0v3R]

Hi guys,
would like to ask.. sometimes i charge my batteries and not fly because something happen.. is it ok to leave them full of charge? or it will ruin them?
im asking because i think the flight time when im flying became shorter than the start..or its just in my mind

Leaving them fully charged for an extended period of time isn't good for their health. They should by default start auto-discharging after 10 days (down to a safe level of ~60%), but ideally you want to discharge them sooner than that. You can change the setting inside DJI GO 4 to make them discharge quicker.

I prefere to use the powerbank adapter if I’m not going to fly as planned. A forgotten accessorie that is a perfect choice to drain the batteries down to 60%.

That's a good tip: I've used that too with the Mavic Air since it doesn't let you change the auto-discharge setting.

ok thank you all. will try to change the discharge time

Can change down to 2 days form memory (for the M1P if same as M2P).
I have mine set at 5 days, think it's a decent option, and if I know I'm flying noxt day, I just press the battery button and reset.
As far as flight times seeming less, that's very hard to judge as more wind, or just a flight with more ups and downs when flying will shrten a flight duration.

I store mine at 50 to 60 percent and have 55 flights on each - still 26 minutes flight time.

The M2P did not have an option to manage the battery discharge until the latest Firmware release. Make sure you are updated, then you will have the option to set the discharge to 1-10 days.
