How far can you discharge a LiPo battery?

A LiPo battery should never be deeply discharged. Discharging the battery too far can permanently damage the cells and may cause swelling due to gas formation.

To protect the battery:

Do not discharge the battery below approximately 3.5 V per cell
Preferably use only up to around 80% of the battery capacity
Use a voltmeter or digital battery monitor to check cell voltage

Important: never completely empty a LiPo battery after use, as this can shorten lifespan and create safety risks.
