Just leave it and it will do it for you as it's programmed to.

Use the Flight SIM, as a helpful method to discharge your flight battery. ;-)

The default setting for auto discharge is ten days, that it's starts to discharge. Personally I think a setting of between 3 and 5 days is best. It can be set in the Go app if you didn't know.

Agreed - the 10 day setting is too long. I set my battery's to 3 days.

That then means battery is fine and ready to use for 3 days - then enters slow discharge state. The battery discharges to storage level over next 2 days.

I also have a discharger from eBay - this has switch so I can discharge to storage or to deep discharge. It has a USB port on it so the battery energy from discharge can be used to charge a mobile phone, tablet or for a lamp.

The app does not discharge the battery.  The app allows you to set the timer for battery to do it itself.

Remember that the timer will stop if you do anything with battery such as switch on ... check charge level etc.  So leave the battery alone !

Personally I prefer discharge manually using my own gear ..... but that's another subject. And i would never discharge using the aircraft unless actually flying.
