:D - this is too funny! Actually, I have these in my house, since my wife works with animal rescue services:
and to be honest with you all, this did cross my mind when I decided to launch and then land my A3S on my hand, back in the days!
I don't know that it takes all that to keep them stored but I plan to use *all* batteries in a slow rotation cycle rather than try to squirrel away a set. If I have long term batteries for storage, they are packed away inside an unopened drone kit.
Both of above mentioned sellers I used shipped with FedEx, package was here in 3 days, no hurdles whatsoever. But maybe I just got lucky, so don’t take it for granted
Since you have a positive control that is working, I'd lean towards using assistant 2 to reflash the firmware on your drone and rc2 and then reset all your settings.
Since batteries are consumables and the future is uncertain, I've picked up a some extras for a few of my drones. For longevity purposes do you think it would be better to just include them in the current rotation so that I end up with even usage...
