Firmware settings

Not relevant.

Describe the feature

instead of only running 10 minutes after the external power goes down on ground (not in air), discharge the battery to 3.7V for LiPo/LiIon, as this is approx. 50% capacity for a normal cell and is a much more favorable storage voltage than "fully charged". This keeps the battery in better shape between usages.
