The LiPo Storage function will either use it's own discharge rate or it will use the rate set in the LiPo Discharge function. Depends on the charger.
In the Storage screen hit the Enter button and see if the current will flash and if it does then use the up/down buttons to change it.
If you can't change it there then go to the LiPo Discharge screen and change it there.
LiPo Storage is mandatory if you want your packs to survive a long time. Storage will either discharge or charge the pack to 50% power. Once at 50% you can stor the pack for monthe or years without fear of cell damage.
Never put a pack away full charged. The cells will become damaged by high resistance and not deliver full power.
If you have a fully charged pack and won't be using it for longer than a week then put it in storage.
