I just realised my oldest battery just hit 23 charge cycles.
What is the current (official) consensus on the percentage to discharge to to condition the cells?
And unofficially, is it worth it?
From P3A user manual v1.6 (they should all be same for batterys)

How to discharge your Intelligent Flight Battery:
Slow : Place the Intelligent Flight Battery into the Phantom 3 Advanced’s Battery Compartment
and turn it on. Leave it on until there is less than 8% of power left, or until the battery can no
longer be turned on. Launch the DJI GO app to check battery levels.
Rapid : Fly the Phantom 3 Advanced outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left, or until
the battery can no longer be turned on.

I hover mine down to 15 -20%
Bring in. Remove battery and let everything cool for 1/2 hour.
Then take props off. Put on table and leave on until I see 7%.
The next time I might try leaving until it shuts off.
I believe a slower drop will produce a more uniform voltage across the cells.
Some people suggest leaving a fan blowing at the bird for cooling.
