is that from an easyjet manual?

paradigm , is that also flying with easyjet?

delvis, storage mode ? tbh something im not aware of, they are pretty much fully drained as it is

Yes, there will be a storage mode, leaving then fully charged for prolonged periods will degrade the cells and ruin the batteries, this is why they self discharge to a certain percentage, because people can't be bothered to do it themselves with the photography drones.

Same I'd you fully discharge them, do you know what voltage you fly then down too?

“Storage mode” isn’t really a “mode”, just a part charge, somewhere between 50-60% should suffice.

And yes that was easyJet @binaryknight

late reply haven't been on in a bit but thanks for all the posts

i went with the drone, 3 batteries the laptop with one battery and the go pro with 3 batteries
flying out - no issue whatsoever straight through security no problems at all

flying home from Spain the bag xray scanner pinged, "is this your bag".... guy operating the scanner wasn't quite sure about the drone batteries, called over a more senior member of staff who in turn called a more senior member of staff that looked like he should have been a military general

few questions about what they were etc in but the general gist was to keep my bag with me at all times and that the batteries were not to be put into hold

so overall was a fairly smooth trip without major issue
