Hi
I've just read on a forum with regards to flying the Phantom the following advice:
'Always take off with a fully charged battery, if you stop flying do not use the pack again for another flight use a fresh fully charged one.'
I only have one battery pack, and charge it to 100% before going out with drone (I often leave battery lying in drone for around a week.)
I don't fully discharge the battery in one flight. I like to move from location to location, taking short films. So during my first flight the battery will be at 100%, my 2nd flight 90%, 3rd flight 80%. I repeat this process of moving location until the battery flashes the 'low battery' alert (around 20-30%,) and then recharge it.
In a nutshell I am totally going against the advice 'Always take off with a fully charged battery.'
I'll be honest I really can't afford to buy 8 different batteries, so I can take off with full charge at several different locations.
Is they way I'm using my Phantom jeopardising my drone or battery?
Thanks in advance.
