   I just updated my Smart Controller to v4.3.25. Now the battery discharge time can be changed. I set mine to two days. Suppose I am set to fly and something comes up where I can't on day one. Day two and three it is raining. The batteries start discharging and on day four I am set to fly again. I don't know how much the batteries wil discharge in a day or two, but lets say they are at 85%. Is it okay to charge them back to 100%, or should I fly with them at 85% and run the batteries down to the usual 20% - 30% and then charge them up?

   If it is not okay to recharge at 85%, what is the safe level to recharge?

dji manual says always launch without full  - i have flown with discharging batteries and thank fully not suffered issues - however if i did suffer and issue which resulted in a dispute with dji they would likely simply state that launch was without full battery and therefore the loss (or issue) is my own responsibility.
