Lithium Discharge Mode:
If you plan to discharge your battery to reach safe storage levels, we strongly
recommend that you use Storage Mode. In very few instances should
discharging become necessary with LiPo batteries. One such instance may
include preparing a battery for disposal, in which case the battery should not be
completely discharged. Be sure to follow the discharging instructions provided
by the battery manufacturer. Over-discharging a battery can severely damage
the battery and may cause a fire or explosion.
