New lipo maintanance ?

[Andris Golts]

Hi all just purchased 2- Team Great hobbies 2s 3300 mah 50c lipos for my 23'' mono to be used on 4s1p setup. In the instruction page it mentions break in lithium polymer batteries benefit from a break in process of about 3 cycles of being charged at 1c and dischcharged at 5-10c to about 75 % of their capacity. I never charge lipo's at more than 1c regardless ! Would dishcharging to 75% of their capacity which is 2475 mah not be to much? I personaly aim for the 60% mark. Any suggestions on lipo maintance would be welcome . Regards Andris Golts.

You want the cycle process to be easy, which is why its recommended only to charge them at 1C and not to take the voltage down too low on the discharge. Personally, I bring them down to the storage voltage, about 3.85V, that's already set on my charger.
