    Battery charging and losing voltage while stored

    Designed to discharge when in storage? That`s crazy, I`ve never heard of a battery designed to not hold a charge! I`ve noticed mine not initially charging in the dual charger also. I hadn`t put much thought into why. Thought maybe the battery wasn`t discharged enough to trigger the charging...

    Battery charging and losing voltage while stored

    Has anyone noticed the dual battery charger doesn't fully charge the batteries? I happened to notice after finishing with the dual charger and then placing a battery in Skydio 2 that it wasn`t showing fully charged. If I charge with the Skydio it seems to fully charge. Also, I`ve noticed the...

    Please explain return to home to me

    Hi, New Skydio 2 owner here and first post. The intended use for my Skydio is for tracking me in the mountains while I drive my Polaris RZR. Can a home point be set even when tracking and then moving away from the launch point? If a home point is set, will it attempt to return to the original...
