| ![]() Just been researching this and found that 3.85v per cell is what you want as a target. Also read that storing them at 35-45F in a fridge is good. ![]() http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=692918 This site say store at 40% charge. http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm I'm going to with the 3.85v cell and dont know about the fridge idea thou can anyone chime in on that?? ![]() |

| ![]() I fully charge mine and put them in the fridge. That way, they're ready to go when you want to drive. |

| ![]() .....at room temp. That's why I put them in the fridge. However, I generally don't go longer than a week without using them. |

| ![]() Long term storage at any temp fully charged is hard on LiPo cells. |
