I always log every flight for every lipo I have. Simply to track the cycles and how hard I push the packs. Now I wonder in regards to seeing how much life is left in the pack or in regards to somehow evaluating its performance. Can or should a person discharge them slowly on a charger such as a tp1010 to 3.0v per cell then charge them fully and see what they take in, and will that represent their condition?? That is one thing oddly enough I never have known about lipos... If anyone knows this I would love some clarification. THX. :wink:
