old batery

[Bruno Cavalcanti]

Hello,
    I think this question has been here some time ago, but since I don´t remeber the results I´m going to ask again. The common statement says that we should discard the battery when it reaches 80% of its rated capacity. Ex: a 800mah should be discarded when it reaches around 640 mah. But a 640 mah is a good batery for a begginer. The question is: can I give it to somebody use it in a trainer or begginer airplane a battery such as this one? Or is it unsafe even it getting 640mah?
Thanks Bruno
