I've been reading a lot on different ways i1 users are discharging the batteries for "prolongued" storage.
Zero it's not an ideal scenario for storage as it will diminish battery life and consistency.

Thoughts?
How do you do it?

I would run the battery down to under 50% for long term storage.

Do you actively discharge your battery or you do it while flying?

when i have received my batteries TB47's they have all bin between 20% and 30%   it would make sense to me to store them around there

I do it while flying. If I need to discharge to 0% to calibrate the battery I either leave it turned on in the Inspire or use it to charge the RC.

My thoughts on discharging

1) Discharge all batteries after FW update and charge full. (calibration)
2) Always take off with full battery.
3) Fully discharge every 15/20 flights and fully charge again.
4) Charge/discharge to 50% if you want to store the batterie for longer time. (1week or more)
5) Store the batteries in a safer place, NOT in your bed or living room.

Note: TB47 and TB48 are intellegent batteries. They discharge automatically during a period of X days. (See the app to setup).
