You should never discharge a lipo pack without a reason... (like if you want to see how much juice is left, to figure runtime, etc). Otherwise you should not discharge it.

But if you need to... set the volts to 3.0-3.2 volts per cell. (minimum of 6 volts on a 7.4v pack) and the amps as high as you want... 10A max on the ICE is fine.

Charge: 4.4 amps

I would reccomend a balancer if you can use one. I don't know if many of the car lipo's come with a balance port but it's about the best way to keep the battery in good running shape. If you get a balancer with a digital it's probably a better way, but not really required.
