P2 battery charge -- first time

[MCG]

So I have 3 P2 flight batteries that came with my kit. When I press the button on the batteries, two bars light up.

Should I charge each of them fully before my first flight? Or run as is now?

Thanks for helping a rookie!

Charge them all up fully! With two bars, you'll be lucky to get 2 minutes of flight time.

Thanks! I will do that tomorrow under supervision.

The P2 manual says to take them down to 8% charge on every 20 cycles, them re-charge. Also, don't keep them fully charged unless you plan to fly the next day. Keep them at about 50% charge when storing for a week or more.
