Default new lipo battery

Getting back into rc after +23 yrs. I know lipos supposedly ship at 50% capacity. Only thing I can't find is whether you charge rest of the way or run that 50% down then recharge. I dont want to ruin cells. Thanks.

I have a feeling you are going to get answers both way. And in actuality, it probably does not matter. I think the important thing is to not charge at a high rate, but others will argue with that too.

Thanks. I'll probably run it then balance charge. Love this forum.
