I have a couple of questions on LiPo charging for the Vision 2+. I know that for storage the battery should be at 50% charge. Can I charge it to 50% after use and then finish charging the day I want to fly? If so, should I just unplug the charging cable from the battery while it's running or should I unplug the AC input to the charger first?

You can do it either way you want.

mikeatlincoln, if you have the most recent battery firmware, your batteries will auto discharge to ~50% after 10 days. So, it's also safe to store them fully charged.

When I referred to storage I was thinking short term. (A week or less) I want to treat the LiPo in the best possible manner. So maybe 100% or 50% for a week doesn't make a difference? Also I was concerned about unplugging the charger plug while current was flowing. (Possible arcing)
