Hopefully this will be helpful. I have 7 batteries and was not sure how the adjustable (1-10 day) self-discharge setting was communicated to the battery. When you reset it using the DJI Go 4 App does it require cabling the drone to the PC and using the DJI assistant (or over the air) like it requires for a battery firmware upgrade?
Answer: to set your batteries to a certain number of days until self-discharge, simply turn on your remote and go to the battery screen on your phone. Before the drone is started, you will notice the days stays at "1". Start the drone, let it connect, and the screen will flicker and then show the days stored for that battery. You can also change it, and it updates the battery immediately. For your next battery, simply power down the drone, put in the next battery, and check the battery screen, it will show what that battery is set at (and you can change it immediately if needed). There is NO need to power off the remote or phone or the DJI Go 4 app, just line up the batteries and go.
Note: if you turn on any battery after removing it from the drone, it will reset the timer to the number of days you set. You can check the battery level by pressing the button quickly, but don't turn on the battery. You can also feel the battery getting a little warm when the discharging starts.
