I don't know what #DJI does with their #drone batteries to make them so sucky, but every time I put the drone away, all three of its #batteries are fully charged, yet when I take the drone out a month later they're down to half power. WTF?

I can't fly the drone without planning ahead. 🙄

@mlanger

It's by design to prolong the life of the battery. Seems like there's got to be a better way to do it. (and it's a real challenge for things like search and rescue where you may not fly for a while but you need a fully-charged battery on short notice...)
