Very good practice -for cells which can be cycled
The new 2.4 radios - using really stump pulling servos, often use A123 or LiPos -
the momentary power drains on some setups are staggering .
The A123 and high C rate Lipos have very flat discharge curves and require a different technique to make sure they are ok
The absolute best is a charger which balances and records power used
Cyling is really not a necessary part of these technologies.
