Default RE: Battery charge


ORIGINAL: old n slow

I charge the Tx and Rx batteries tonight but can't fly tomorrow. I can't fly for several day for whatever reason. Must I recharge and for how long should I charge using the supplied charger? I hope I am making myself clear. Basically can I charge today and not fly for 5-7 days without recharging?
A good set of batteries should hold the charge for a week or two as long as you are storing them in a warm place (cold temperatures will reduce the lifespan of the charge).

A good investment is a Battery Cycler, these magic devices discharge your batteries and bring them back to full charge plus give you a record of how much charge was left in the battery. A handy tool to have.
