LiPo Storage - Discharge Current question

[SeanPep]

Hey guys - fairly new and I have tried to do some research on this but I can't seem to find a straight forward answer. I have a SkyRC Q200 charger and I am trying to figure out what the "Discharge Current" should be set to for discharging and storage mode. My batteries are 3s 1550 mAH 75C.

Thank you for any help on this!

Other may suggest other wise - but discharging should be controlled! dropping to much can damage cells - better than doing it with a charger... put in your quad and run it down till the volt alarm sets off - I assume you have on your lipo when flying - timers can be out or forgotten. If you have to use your charger - storage is a better option than discharge.
I suggest you check out YouTube - use this link and then you will have other similar vids offered up -

Like is there not a specific amp rating that you should use to discharge when using a charger?

Your lipo battery parameters: 3s 1550 mAH 75C. Your battery discharge rate is 75C, then we should accord your capacity to figure out your battery discharge current; your battery capacity is 1550mAh, generally 1C= 1550mA= 1.55A, so your battery discharge current is 75*1.55A=116A, charge current you can set 1.55A. You can read this article The analysis of lipo battery parameters to know more lipo batteries.

Hi mate I do store charge at 5 amps on a 400 watt charger but as the battery nears its store voltage the charger lowers its discharge rate ,if you go into store mode and see what is the max you can discharge at, in the spec it says 10 watt at 0.1 to 2 amps , if you set max as the battery get near its store rate the charger will lower it discharge rate
