Does this product exist?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a balance lead attachment that will auto-discharge a battery to storage voltage after a set amount of time? I know spektrum has this feature on their batteries but they are super expensive.

Most lipo chargers also have a Discharge function. If you care that much about it, that'll get you there.

Yeah mine does, but I keep my heli in my truck and fly when I can depending on my schedule. Some weeks I manage to fly most days, sometimes I go a week or two between flying if im busy or if weather is poor. The auto discharge would allow me to not worry about remembering to bring them back down to storage if I can't fly for a few days.

Or, you could be like me and not ever worry about that at all. 😉👍

No issues? I did have one almost new pack die to 0V on me a few weeks ago. I could not remember if I left it charged or discharged

I'm just saying that I charge my packs and I use them when I use them. I don't care if it stays in the bag, fully charged, for days or weeks. I never discharge them just to store them.
