Break in batteries?

Probably a stupid question... but should you break in the Inspire 2 batteries, I.e. Not run below 50% or sustained high speed for the first few usages. I've seen various posts mentioning this, but not seen anything in the manaual (may have missed it).

Thanks.

I have been flying RC for 30 years and have tried both 'breaking in' and not.
Makes absolutely no difference to pack performance or longevity.
What is far more important is how the packs are stored (both voltage and temp) and how much they are depleted during discharge.
Don't fly below 3.35v per cell (under load) and your packs will thank you for it.
I see people say they regularly fly down to an indicated 15% or 10% (or lower) and then wonder why after a few months their packs don't perform well.

Many thanks, that clears that up nicely and saves me some hassle.
