Discharghing a Lipo? Questions needed

[Dewey H Lee]

Hey Pauly
One of my friends at the field helped me make a discharger that I've been using. It consists of 2 1156 auto bulbs , a low voltage alarm and the connector for batteries you use. Just plug the connector to the battery going from the bulbs and the battery alarm set to 3.80 in the balance plug. When the alarm goes off just unplug your Battery. Works Great.

That sounds cool Dewey, Thanks

What is the charge on a battery for shipping now? It used to be around 3.8v per cell. There seems to be such a fine line between "not too low" and "kill your battery too low".

While at Joe Nall Fly In this year, I spoke with a Lipo distributor who said that USPS was enforcing a NEW shipping mandate. No longet can Lipo batteries be shipped at full charge. They must be down to 1/2 charge for safety
