Lipo discharge?

[daryleb73]

What are the reasons to discharge a Lipo ?i know they don't have the memory problem the old one had. My charger doesn't discharge so what are my options

If you are not going to be using it for 2 or more days,it should be kept at 3.85 v per cell.that is storage voltage.
That is best for the health of the battery

Options?

Run it in the vehicle... or find a way to hook a light of the proper voltage to it.
BE SURE TO MONITOR CELL VOLTAGES IF USING THE LIGHT METHOD.

To discharge a Lipo , I use a 1157 auto bulb and a LVD with buzzer set at 3.9v and unplug it at 3.85 per cell , This works for me .

If each a cell is 3.7v then how do you discharge them to 3.85? I'm confused

Fully charged LiPo cells are 4.2 volts. 3.7 is just a nominal charge.. the same that 1.2 is just nominal for NiMh.
Haven't you noticed a 8.4v NiMh can have over 10 volts?
