So over winter months as I am not out flying, if I store my lipos @ 3.8v, then they will be fine leaving them for this long period right? Going by what Bardwell said, technically should be good for years in storage mode? I have them in a bat box which is also placed inside a lipo holdall, in my garage, and I do a physical check every 2-3 weeks for deformation, swelling, leakage etc. This is ok right?
Wait so just run it down essentially to the LIPO cutoff? What if it’s a bit higher than storage mode or should it bring it lower than storage mode? And then you just keep charging till you reach the right voltage? I’m so confused. I have a prophet sport mini and I have no idea what I’m doing
No, you do not have to run the lipo down until it hits cutoff. If you have a lipo charger that has a storage function, then put your lipo onto that. Much easier than running a lipo down from fully charged or any other level of charge. Running a battery down from full, just to put it in storage is a bit of a waste of time …unless you really love using your rc….and it can be a pain if you have loads of lipos. E.g I had 4 lipos all fully charged for a club race day. Last minute, I couldnt make it so now I’m storage charging all of them one by one until the next time I will need them. Mobile phones operate on a similar principle. Not sure about IPhones, but I know. My android has a setting so it wont charge more than 85% and similarly I think I saw a function where it wont let the battery drop below 10% or something - all of which helps prolong the life of the phone battery.
Can I discharge my 3s battery to be charged 10% and all cells on 3.8V for storage I mean what is the best percentage of charge for good storage 10% 30% or 50% with 3.8V
A lipo battery, or more commonly known as lithium-ion polymer battery (abbreviated as LiPo, LIP, Li-poly, lithium-poly and others), is a rechargeable battery, These batteries provide higher specific energy than other lithium battery types and are used in applications where weight is a critical feature, such as mobile devices, radio-controlled aircraft and some electric vehicles.

Great video man! Also thanks for those gears, my dual motor slash rips!!
Dual motor slash???? id love to see that

Nice video thank you

MAH...?
mAh...'milli Amp hour!'
Yes thats correct milliampere hour, and thanks for the comment
Whats a lipo battery?

mah =))) bro, do you even know what you are doing there?
My brother followed your video and it burned his house down with him and his small children. They didn't make it. Stop showing dangerous videos
