I’m sure you’ve heard of the LINK by now. I’ve been shooting with all Godox stuff for years and haven’t had any issues with my batteries. Mostly… I’ve heard people have issues if their lights fall into not being used for a long time and they leave the batteries attached to the lights. The batteries suffer from this, and should be periodically charged if you’re going a long time without shooting. Optimal charge is somewhere between 20-80%, with about 50% being how they should be stored between shoots typically.
What a hilarious pain in the ass; I hope nobody accepts this as reasonable from modern gear in 2020.
“Have you been caring for them properly? The maintenance guide requires that you take these batteries out only by the light of the moon, and massage them weekly so they’re in a good mood when being used. If you haven’t tickled or petted your Godox battery in a few days, it’s really your fault it’s failing.”
Yeezus, glad I didn’t go Godox when I replaced all my strobes recently. I have all manner of gear that sits on the shelf for ages and holds a charge just fine, firing right back up the moment I need it. I probably haven’t used the VML in my garage in a year, and I guarantee it would still show 50%+ and power a strobe for hundreds of pops — the thing never fails, and that’s OLD tech. Nobody’s ever told me to keep it between 20 and 80% and only store it at 50% full. To accept that as reasonable to keep your equipment functioning is utter madness.
