Common practice for me is to charge depleted non-DJI LiPo batteries to 50% before putting them away and charge them to 100% just before a flight.
Although DJI batteries have smarts built in to automatically discharge to 50%, if the battery is not used for a couple of days, this in my opinion could be improved.
I think a better way is by default to have the battery charged to 100% when plugged into the charger. However, overrule this 100% charge with (for example) holding the power button for 2 seconds after plugging in. If this power button press is detected by the battery, the charge will be stopped at 50% (rather than 100%).

I think this will potentially increase the battery life in situations when the drone is not flown regularly and reduces power consumption.

Please let me know what you think of this suggestion.

Great idea, I also charge them to 50% for storage, sometimes feels weird just unplugging them like that but i guess it's the thing to do. Would like a more standard way of doing it..
