Can you guys please help? i just bought a brand spanking new Phantom 4 and have 2 flights in, when i thought of a breakin period. DO I NEED TO BREAKIN THE BATTERY??? Such as first 10 flights drain to roughly 50 percent and recharge? i know every 20 or so charges you need to run it down to around 7 or 8 percent and recharge. BUT WHAT ABOUT VERY FIRST FLIGHTS?
The manual says nothing about it, which is not surprising since it really dont go into deatail on ANY SUBJECT. all info/help and comments appreciated. thanks

Here's a good bookmark if you don't have it http://www.dji.com/phantom-4/info#specs
In the 'downloads' section you'll see Phantom 4 Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guidelines v1.0 (which does not refer to any break in period).

You will probably get varied answers on this on a break in period. The 50% for 10 flights is something I did not do. I usually always fly the batteries down to about 30% then land. This gives me a bit of leeway for anything that might crop up, wind, change of landing area etc. The deep discharge cycle is something that I do, if nothing else to recalibrated the battery charge measurement circuit.
