RC battery discharge rate

[AUSPETE]

I have a new P3 pro and have flown 9 battery cycles (each down to about 25%) and the 4 white LED lights on the RC are still all illuminated. The DJI GO app is also still showing all bars for the RC.
Just wondering if this normal because I used to have an Inspire and lose one light on the RC after about 4 battery flights.
Thanks for any advice.

The bars in the DJI GO app are showing the signal strength for the remote controller.

Should have known that!!!!! -Getting too old -Ta
Any clues whether the discharge rate shown by the RC LEDs is normal

Sounds normal. You'll get somewhere around 30 flights on one charge.

In the manual for the P3A it talks about discharge to 8%, same as the P2V+. But nothing about doing it every 20 cycle like the P2V+. Is it not neccessary on the P3? Thanks Jack

nynelyvz, yes, you should do it every 20 charges and/or when the DJI GO app prompts you to do so.

This is what DJI says to do in the DJI battery guidelines:

"Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until there is 8% remaining power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge it to the maximum capacity. This power cycling procedure will optimize battery life."
