Hey, just another way of skinning the cat. One could certainly just use the supplied soft switch, and just make sure that the battery is always topped off before any lengthy storage. Hypothetically speaking however, ... if you have a 2300 mah pack, and you fly 1700mah out of the pack one day, then go home without topping it back off, and life , weather or whatever .... keeps you from flying for three weekends in a row, ... you may not have a battery by then. 2300mah pack - 1700mah of flying - 504mah discharge through the soft switch (1mah x 24 hrs per day x 21 days/3 weeks= 504) .... leaves just 96mah, which most likely would be that overdrained range that is said to ruin a A123 pack. ... I may have this all wrong, and don't mind learning from someone who knows more about this stuff. Just trying to learn like everyone else.
