So I deplete my batteries to around 30% and they are on a 5-day discharge period. Is this right for my MP1 or should I be doing something different?

When I charge up to go flying the next, but something comes up and can't go play, my batteries self discharge after 3 days.
The self discharge drops the battery to approx. 50% for storage. If it were me, I wouild get them close to 50 percent, say 45/55 %, if the self discharge stops at 50%, I would use that as the target.
I have the Mavic Gen I, but the same procedure can be used for any LIPO battery. Never store full, never store empty, go for 50%...
 
Okay. 50% is the way to go. Thanks :)

30% is okay if you're only storing your batteries for short periods of time. See these tips if storing batteries for longer periods of time.
 
While reading the Mavic Pro Battery Safety PDF, I kept thinking:
