Plug the battery into the Phantom. Got to the "battery page" and set 1 or 2 days or whatever time frame you're comfortable with. Repeat for however many batteries you have.

Over the chosen period of time, the batteries will discharge to "storage" levels (50 - 60%) and you can keep them on the shelf at that level for a long, long time. Never store LiPo batteries fully charged, don't discharge them "down to the nub" and keep them out of the sun.

to do a deep discharge i usually just fly it down to 30% and let the battery cool and the voltages to settle for a bit, and then i just turn on the quad and let it sit there until it goes down to 8%. less stress on the battery
