Great advise..., I also put my batteries on charge the night before,
even if I did not fly a day earlier. The night before I usually check
the voltage and if it's still in the lower part of the green of the scale
I charge it for 8hrs or so, if it's lower than that, I give it a full charge
12-14hrs. Well on my transmitter battery I use to do it also but I
have since got another battery so as long as I show a good charge
I do not top off, instead I take my second "charged" battery with me
to the field.. And no matter what I do the night before, before my
flight, I take a battery reading and again every two flights... I had
one go down because of the batteries... And if I can help it....
That WILL never happen again...
