Everything I read says to discharge down to 8%. I've read that taking a LIPO below certain levels can cause a large amount of problems, thus preventing it from being able to charge back up again.
Not sure about this. I know it says discharge to AT LEAST 8% but it doesn't say avoid reaching 0% does it? I only let it get that low once every 20 charges. I've never had a problem but I'm knocking on wood!
