When To Discharge

[astazou]

When do you discharge a lipo battery and how far down is it safe to go?
Before you charge do you discharge all the way down?
Or do you discharge before you balance?
Thanks,

You DO NOT discharge lipos. They don't work like other cells that require cycling.

The only time you MIGHT consider it, would be for long term storage, and they you bring them down to 3.8 - 3.85 volts per cell.
