[NSRCA-discussion] E-power

[Fred Huber]

I try to put any pack on the charger when I remove it from the plane.

If it is left in the plane, I consider it to be discharged.

Then when I get home from flying, I take all the packs and check voltage, 
charge and ballance. (the Astro Blinkey typically says the packs are all 
ballanced within 5 min each)
