You don't want to discharge them down past 3.2v per cell, or you most likely will have a very dead and very useless lipo. This is why when running a lipo setup you always want an LVC.

It was my understanding that with the lipo setup you never need to cycle it because it doesn't loose capacity or have a memory. If I am wrong post up. I have never cycled or discharged my lipo and have had the same length of run times as when I got it new.

No need to cycle or even discharge before charging. Just make sure you don't take the voltage down to far or charge the pack at more than 1c of the packs Mah rate! They will blow up and catch fire, I've seen it!

Its basically charging at 1 amp for every 1000mah so you are doing fine. And the amps will drop while charging, that is perfectly normal for charging lipos. Lenman |
