Breaking in new batteries

[Bikeracer]

I keep reading that new lipos need breaking in.

Can someone please clarify this for me,and if they do,what's the recommended way to do it?

I usually have 5 or 6 half discharge flights on a new pack to give it a gentle introduction to general usage.

I stick to the 80% rule from new - seems to work ?

If I've got this right then,If I set my lipo warning to around 10.5 volts for the initial four or five runs it'll help,and then set it to just over 10.0 volts after that.

For the first 3-4 flights just fly gently and fly for 4-5 minutes (no full pitch pumps).
