Hello again. I am wondering what I need to set my discharge cut-off voltage to when discharging this battery? I have a Ice charger and I never dischargerd li-pos before. Thanks Jay

Your not supposed to discharge them?

I was going to cycle the pack before I use it.

yes discharging a lipo is bad. the only safe way to "discharge it" is to run it. charge and balance.

Sounds good. Thank you.

It's not bad, it's just not needed. Li-Po's aren't like NimH cells. Just charge and go. If you only use half the pack then just charge back up and go.
