as Joe, I always charge my packs back to storage after I have finished flying. It is a good habit and reduces charging time before flying. I use a iCharger 1010b and it has a build in storage program (per cell at 3,85VDC) which charges/discharges as needed.
Joe, you mention you discharge/charge before first flights. How do you define discharge? At my charger it wil default discharge until 3,0 V but that sounds kinda low. I can change the setting so I can follow any recommendation.

I discharge on my TP 1010C. I set the default discharge point to 3.75V. I let it go the distance and sometimes I stop at about 2000ma discharge and then recharge. Downside with this charger is that you can only discharge at a .5A discharge rate with a 10S setup which takes a number of hours. Usually I do it twice and then fly the pack for a 5 minute flight a few times before I do a full sequence which takes 7-8 minutes. JUst keep track of the ma discharged on the charger. I think 2000ma is safe number to go to. Don't know if discharging the packs at that low of a rate matters but I do it a couple of times no the less.
