lipo charging/cycling question
 

hey guys,

just quick question about whether or not it matters if you fully discharge the lipos before fully charging. Like i know with nimh's if you don't fully discharge them before charging they have a "memory" effect which means that they only discharge to that level where you cut it off... is this true with lipo's as well? or am i ok running them for a main and then just topping them off.

thanks,

-Jim

The common reply here will be that you never need to discharge lipo's full stop.
I have never discharged mine even after them bein sat for a month between usage - just balance charge and they've been great.

There is no need whatsoever to discharge LiPos before charging. Or at all in fact.

They have no memory effect.

top up and race simple as,
