After our most recent video covering battery basics just a couple days ago, we had a lot of questions, so it only made sense to do a follow up video with some answers and more helpful tips and tricks to keeping your Lipo batteries healthy over a long period of time! These methods have worked well for us for many years now, but are by no means the absolute best way to manage your batteries. Please be careful with LiPos and always handle and store them in a very safe location.

As a noob these two videos have been really good. Thanks for making these for beginners.
You are very welcome my RC friend 👍⚓😃
Just love how your wife supports your hobby.
How long can my LiPos sit uncharged before I should storage charge them?...say I run my rc car an I run it till they hit the shutdown mode ..how long can they sit in that state before I should put a storage charge on them??
i beleive the rule applies as much for charged and uncharged. Around 2-4 days. That is my rule of thumb.
Is it okay to leave your battery dead after using overnight or even for a couple days
Lipo bags for Lipo batteries are absolute must I get your point but they should be charging in the Lipo bag because if they catch on fire, it will be contained in the bag this smoke will come out, but the fire will only be contained in the bag I have several, and I use them all. I love them. I am deeply sorry people are misguided. I totally think opposite about Lipo batteries. You and Abby do great work making these videos. I enjoy watching them anytime. There is a video that’s out I watch it.💗
What if i dont use my battery for 3 or 4 days? Do i need to store charge. Also before i use the battery again i have to fully charge it?
Great video! Keep up the good work! Thank you for all you do for this hobby!
Thanks a lot for tuning in!
I use a car headlight bulb for fast discharging I set my alarm at 3.6v per cell then recharge it to storage level . Then before flying balance charge .
If they are in storage for a long time I charge cycle them up and backdoor to storage.
Can anyone 3D print something to make those plastic plugs bigger and easier to hold? Like a bigger grip module.
nate- youre fine! it should go without saying, that anytime you do a tutorial video, youre going to get every armchair expert in the hobby coming along telling you the things you missed, or what they think is the right way to do something. what those people don't realize is that it's actually hard to make a 30 minute video that covers EVERY little thing, without scripts, editing, production staff, and writers :) just realize that the internet armchair experts are just "part of the hobby :) keep killing it!
Your words of encouragement mean a lot my friend :) Sometimes I do let those people get to me, so I'm glad to know there are people on the other side of that fence as well. Thank you!
When you STORAGE charge your batteries, will it go up to storage charge if below where it should be, OR go down to storage charge if it's above where it should be? Will it go either way?
Yes! 👍😁😎⚓️
iv been doing this for about 20 years and iv never put a battery to storage! not sure why everyone thinks they have to do this? all you need to do is use it up till its not got alot of power left you will find out it will be close to starage. but if you have plenty time and patience go a head lol pointless to be honest!! and as for the power plugging it's a myth..when you get your new lipo it is 30% charged! witch means its at 3.7 to 3.8 3s but i wouldin't recomend under 3.5
3.8 volts is not 30% ... some of those little lipo checkers say it is 30% because you have about 30% of your flight time left, but it is not 30% of the total voltage, lol. Listen, I know batteries. I'm sure what you have done for 20 years has worked just fine for you, but trust me, if you used this method over the last 20 years, I GURANTEE you'd see a major performance increase out of your batteries as well as lifetime longevity. You'd be saving money too. Id be willing to be real money that my 10 year old Lipos will out perform your 10 year old Lipos any day.
"You all", always do a good job!!! Appreciate you , you are great couple.
Y'all*
I was heavily involved in the RC hobby back in the 80's, but everything has evolved so much that I am working to catch back up. You are a super nice guy with a lot of RC knowledge and I appreciate you and your sweet wife making these videos to help us learn to charge our batteries safely (again). I just bought this charger largely because of your recommendation and was confused about the storage charging not going above 1.0 AMPs because my Lectron Pro charger goes all the way up to 5.0 AMPs. I thought there was something wrong with my charger and you helped me see this is normal with this video. I also purchased a BATSAFE to use with this new charger but the leads are a little short. Are longer leads available?
Just started getting back into RC and I appreciate how informative your videos are. Thanks.
Hey guys I have a question I just got mines today. When you discharge these do they automatically discharge to 3.8V ?
Your balance charger should have it set by default to 3.8v, so yes.
O
Thank you for this great information! I always follow your recommendation of not charging batteries unattended. However, once I was charging a single cell battery of a H8 using the USB charger that came with it. The battery was in the H8 while charging. I was quite nearby in the same room, but I fell asleep. When I woke up, the room was smoky with a burnt smell. I went over to the battery, and it was black and semi-melted. The H8 was melted, and a heavy layer of black soot surrounded the area. I was very thankful a full-scale fire did not break out! It showed me the danger is real. Now I never leave the battery in the quad, so if the battery burns, it won't destroy the quad. That incident was the only LiPo mishap I've had so far.
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to explain the basics of storage charging.
You just got a new subscriber 😊
"A little island just off Australia" Put down the spade :D
Good video

That small country just south of Canada. :)
you guys are the best, thanks foe being family friendly (even though it's just a 60 year old man here).
I am fairly new to RC but have a huge pile of cheap chargers that come with RTF planes. on your recommendation I got the Venom pro duo and love it, thanks!
My question: the Venom charger will show voltage of each individual cell when a lipo is connected by pushing the "inc" button. Is there a reason you didn't mention this? Is it less accurate than your little gizmo's?
Thanks again.
We are proud that the entire family can watch our videos without worry :) So glad to hear you like your charger! I guess we are just trying to keep the videos as simple as possible, which is why we didn't mention that. Many people have asked about our little gizmo in a lot of previous videos where we mention it, so I felt like I should cover that a bit more. The voltage on the charger is very accurate. Something I may mention in a future video, but thanks for asking about that. Happy Flying!
Thanks for the quick reply. The Airmasters field in Sebastian FL has a bank Of car batteries charged by solar panels, works great. Flying Tigers at Westwinds Metropark in Toledo has no power. I’m searching for options.
Women are most always better at keeping track of time (5 vs 3 years on the goggle battery) than men. The other day I asked my neighbor how long I've had my cat. She not only knew how long, she even know the month. -- The exception to the rule of needing to balance or do a storage charge is with "smart" batteries, like DJI drone batteries. And why they are more expensive than "dumb" batteries is they have a charger built in each battery that handles all that stuff automagically. The first time I noticed this happening was when I had charged my Mavic batteries, then it got too windy to fly. About a week later I noticed the green light on the battery was on, and it was quite warm to the touch. I had a few moments of panic then realized it had been about a week since I had charged it, and it was just discharging itself to a storage charge to prevent a dummy like me from damaging my battery :>
Very much agreed. Abby definitely wins vs me when it comes to remembering dates and stuff like that. You are right about that regarding smart batteries being the exception. Automagically, lol. I like that :) I love that they are able to do that, thought I don't love the price :/ Amazing where technology has brought us!
When you set the alarm for it to beep at 3.6 volts can you hear it good if your plane or truck is a good ways from ya?
The alarm is pretty loud. I've never had any issues with not being able to hear the alarm go off.
I always come back to this vid for reminders. Y’all do a great job. Thanks.
Good video , but one question , is it ok to charge a 2s lipo if it is not fully discharged ??
Hellooo anybody here ?
Is storage charging about the same as discharging? I've already learned so much from this video! Thank you so much! I like the relationship you guys have with each other!
Good information. I typically use the battery meter on my LIPO Charger to get the pack and individual cell voltage rather than using one of those little battery alarms. Much more accurate. Thanks for the video and Happy Flying!
Great tip my friend :) I should have showed that feature as well, but still trying to keep the video simple. I like the little alarms because they can be used anywhere you are, rather than just with your charger :)
This is the best info I’ve come across about battery storage
Thank you very much 😃👍⚓😎
Yep, here it is. I never fly this time of year. But I never had a Viper, Marlin, a-10, or a Conscendo Evolution. Now if I can’t feel my fingers it’s not the disaster in years past.
This is the time of the year still I think of Nate. It’s time to reorganize the battery boxes, check that all the batteries are in storage mode, Velcro aren’t pulling up and all the connectors are in good shape.
Lol I was wondering a good week straight what is being balanced...lol I just came from 1997 with my 7.2v Original Gangster Dodge Ram bodied Stampede 2wd with a amazing 7.2v 2000mah with tower hobbies fast charger with a what? a discharger! a what? a discharger! Yea... thanks for the info I take everything in bcz frankly all motorsports and the lifelong blessings of RC autos are the dearest to my heart. It truly improves the quality and joy of my life. I don't have much joy since my family disappeared. This all helps me sleep and makes good days!
So im a noobie to the hobby (yall got me into it and I absolutely love it!) but i was wondering when yall were talking about discharging a battery for storage, does using the battery in my car until the LVC stops it mean the battery is discharged enough for storage or do i still need to do the discharge on my battery?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but i want to make sure that im taking proper care of my stuff. Thanks yall!
Not a stupid question at all! Actually, if you use your RC car 'till the LVC kicks in, that's probably a good bit under storage charge. The BEST way to see where your voltage is at if you don't have a charger that will tell you is with one of these guys ----> ruclips.net/video/CKWjWRggngc/видео.html
This is our video. Hope it comes in handy!!
@@TheRcSaylors thanks for the quick reply, i will definitely pick one of those up. Yall stay safe!
Poor Popeye. He had nothing to chase.
But a great video followup
Thanks
I think we'll have to get out and fly more after these battery videos :) Thanks for tuning in Chazco!
FANTASTIC CHARGING OVERVIEW! I learned so much! I can't thank you enough! JP
Glad you liked this video John :)
Should I stop flying my rc airplane when the as soon as the propeller starts spinning a bit slower, will that keep the battery over 3.6 volts?
I have plugged in my balance lead in 1st for 15 years. It cant be that important. Not saying that anyone is wrong.
Knowledgeable video! I loved it! Question? I brought some turnigy bolts 5000mah 4S 65c-130c 15.2volts Lihv batteries right! So what's the best way to last awhile?
Wrong?? I question perhaps just DIFFERENT! I do understand the concern of lipo fires and new guys however it is mentioned in prior videos done. Well if hobby stores are shopped clerks will also mention, Buyers of On - Line your videos keep ME informed, Different than others YES it does not make it wrong.I catch most your videos and some other you-tubers like today CoVID and rain, stuck anyhow eh let us learn. My charger is just the one plug that accompanies the product I`ll ask is that wrong?
Hi folks, maybe you can answer this question. I have a Spektrum 2200 charger and need to charge a Spektrum SPMX3003SJ30, but have no clue on what the setting should be? Please advise.
Ok. Here's my question. I've just bought a venom pro quad charger. The storage/discharge rate is ridiculous! So I'm not a plane guy. I'm a truck guy. I reason bought an Xmaxx and is why I bought the venom charger. So. How can I get my batteries to a safe storage voltage without having to put them on the charger in storage mode? Could I use one of those checkers shown in the video as an alarm while running?
Good follow up video guys and you showed me I was wrong in my previous comment about your battery tester. I have since amended that so as to not confuse people. I have a few of those testers/alarms and I've since tested them all and only 1 was reasonably accurate at measuring voltages. I've never actually used them for comparing cell voltages as I have more accurate devices for that, so even if they are slightly inaccurate they will still do their primary job as a low voltage alarm. Please keep up the good work, it's much appreciated.
My charger will perform storage at 2 A. I mainly use it for my 3S 5000 mah and my 4S 4000 mah. In your opinion, will performing storage at 2amps be too much or is that still save? Because if you can balance a battery matching the same Milla amps I’m pretty sure it is much safer to do a storage at half of that. Even at discharge for storage, it’s still not as many abs as the speed control draws.
Would it be helpful to show how the Charger can also verify the voltage of each cell so people can verify if their $1 testers are accurate?
Yes, that is a great point! I may have to include that in a future video. Trying to keep this one fairly simple. Good tip though!
TheRcSaylors I totally understand. I’m always finding things I wish I had put into my videos AFTER I’ve uploaded them. Hehe. You guys do a great service for the community, keep up the good work.
I learned to balance charge when I got init drones . These rc truck batteries look like they don't have that balance plug (jxt) , question is does that jxt xh plug go into the balance ports on my imax b6 ?
Oh no... I have so much work and I don’t have a discharger or storage charge. I have left my lipo alone fully charged for 3 weeks. Ummmm. What should I do?
Great video. I have the same charger why can't you increase the Amp when storgege mode? Takes forever for a 6S at 1amp. Should be up to 7amp storgege charge
Some chargers have where you just plug in the balance wire. Not sure how safe those are though. It's what I use and I haven't had any problems... but I'm really careful with my batteries too.
I go into nimh if they don’t charge up. Sometimes it works sometimes don’t. Have left them without discharging for 4 year and more. They still work some don’t
I just got back into the hobbie again after 15 years, and this was a great video for my wife and I to learn from! Thanks for doing this!!
Great job guys. I think these videos will really help the newbies and give veteran pilots good reminders. Now let's go get some planes in the air
Still a little windy for planes here :/ They are coming though :)
I just ordered one of these
another tip if you out in the field flying or playing with your rc car have a cooler with a 6 pack ice pack then put in the plastic bag m so it wont get wet then put it in the six pack ice pack i learn that tip from a rc mag that use to get @TheRcSaylors
You explain things at the speed I can understand... thanks.
I am trying to balance a DJI Phantom 4 Dron smart battery. After watching your video got a Venom PRODUO charger. After opening the battery I found out that the conector or balancing lead of the battery to the BMS Board is a 5 pin JST SH 1.0mm and the 5 pin female conector of the Venom charger adaptor is a JST XH 2.5 mm. I am ready to make a custom conector male JST XH 2.5 mm to a female JST SH 1.0 mm, my only concern is the order of the cables. Can you help please? I just want to know wich pin in the 5 pin female JST XH Adaptor is the ground as I have 5 cables in my battery balancing lead, 4 reds and one black. Thanks for your help
What options do you recommend as a remote power source for the charger, i.e. car battery, marine battery, jump starter, generator, others?
You know Tim, I'm going to be 100% honest with you. I'm not going to recommend any power source because I've not had to rely on one. I've gotta consider myself very lucky that my flying field has outlets all over the place and I'd just rather be honest than recommend something I've not used personally. However, I have witnessed first hand many people and friends using generators with this charger, working really really well. That would be the most consistent power source for this charger, which would help it's performance. I've even been shopping for a generator for times that we go to RC events that don't have tons of outlets every where ;-) Hope this helps a bit! Happy Flying!
Hey Nate thanks man! This was the video I was looking for ..... Yes even here on New Years Eve.....Lol. I have an Arma Kraton V5 BLX and I love it, it's a beast. Just got it about a month ago. I just got 2 new Lipo's today, and wanted to storage charge it tonight. Thanks again, God Bless and Happy New Years! 🎉🥳
Thank you, My 10 year old has me on a steep learning curve. This was very helpful
I bought some old (New )Bugs 6 and 8 drones and the batteries are probably old too ... The 2S batteries were not "Balanced" all that great. one of them was .07 difference between the cells...Will charging them up and using them once then "storage charging" to 3.8 per cell balance them out?
BTW.... My Lil Hobby King charger doesn't have a power lead to plug in before the balance lead plug....
I’m an hour in and my charger says 3.8 bolts for the 3 cell battery. So if this is safe then why isn’t it letting me know with a beep? In fact I thought it was fully charged. We only ran it for 15 minutes tops. Then the motor started smoking. The person I bought the Kyosho Dodge Hellcat from said he upgraded it. That it goes about 60mph. But the motor is still stock. Could that be why it is smoking? The battery is a Venom 5000/35c 11.1/3cell. I’m using the pro 4 venom charger. Hope that makes sense. I’m new to rc.
Slightly annoyed by pets a misc interruption..
Great info and knowledge. “Sailor?!!!?” Just lie, say you run boats..
Keep vids comings..
I assume nautical themed cushions are hard to come by..
Ugly!
i have a FLOUREON 3S 4000Mah battery and I always balance charge, I use a Traxxas velineon vxl3s system on Lipo mode, I wait for the vehicle to slow down down and I stop running it. Should I be good doing it this way?
Great 2 videos. You have made several things clear.
I run my car maybe once a month.
Now I know (think) after I'm done I should storage charge the battery(s) (came with 2 batteries).
Then balance charge them just before use.
Please comment if this is incorrect.
Thank you for these videos. I'm an old dog learning new tricks.
Great and informative video. I purchased 1300mah 3s batteries in 2015. I forgot I had them. Just found them in end of 2020. They are still at 3.8. I'm not going to use them soon. Should I just like charge them full...and then use them somehow at least once. Then storage charge them? Or although they are 5 years old...I should leave them until I actually use them? 🤔
@TheRcSaylors hi guys i know im a bit late but some help would be appreciated. my son has a battery thats 450mah what would i charge or storage this on as my charger will only go 0.3 or 0.4A. ive never used small batteries so im abit lost thanks guys
Glad to see you guys add a few points that would normally be common to someone in the hobby. Good on you guys for clarifying things for those that are new, and ignore the "awesome" folk who think they know everything. I have a 2s that has been fully charged for over a month IMMA DIE!!!
I suspect you’re referring to parallel charging with the 1s batteries. While yes, a individual charger is probably a good thing, the one you have absolutely can charge 1s. If you want to go to the trouble of going though the wiring you can series charge on that charger (just like parallel charging, the batteries must be identical) and not only is it faster, but allows the charger to balance each battery. Most notably series charging is THE EXACT SAME as what happens internally with multi-cell packs. While yea it’s easy to screw up and burn the house down if you just double check your connections series charging is the superior option. However if you want something harder to screw up parallel is always an option
I was wondering if you can do a video explaining 50c. what that really means also if you can intertwine how you can go about telling the time on flight of the battery that you can have estimating the flight time. Thank you very much I appreciate all of your videos they are user-friendly I am new to this my second year in and loving it keep those videos coming don't change a thing LOL. Picked up 2, F15 Eagles.
I just got my fw 200 flywing it has a e350 25w hot rc charger when I plug in heli batt charger has 2 blue lights and the remote batt is 2pole and the charger is3pole don't now how to charge remote batt can you give me some tips.
To maximize play time (RC cars, not RC planes or drones that could fall out of the sky), what's the lowest voltage that the LiPo battery can be discharged to. 2.7 is the lower limit on the lipo alarm but that seems kinda low. Thoughts?
I have an easy question I bought our first RC truck. And it came with the charger battery combo. It's a the little charger no digits or anything.. so I'm wondering how long can I hold on,. On buying a good charger? Can I use this little charger to charge my 2s and 3s for the first couple months? Or should buy it right away.
I feel safer after watching your video, thank you for the insight!
Not gonna lie I wanna upgrade from a 6volt nicad 5000mah battery to a 5000mah 7.4volt 2a lipo for the reciever but I don’t like lipos because they will blow up and I don’t know how much abuse it will take during a heavy bashing session it could kill the lipo vs the nicad that takes longer like 10 hours to charge when I can have a lipo done in less than a hour But the cons of having a battery the won’t blow up and a battery that has potential to burn a house down has me worried not gonna lie don’t charge indoors always charge outdoors with lipos nicad is fine to charge indoors your phone battery is slightly more different so not worried about my phone blowing up in my face but I am worried that rc lipos have no safe guards built into them
@RcSaylors I bought numerous lipo alarms and have tried different settings, even set at 3.5 or 3.6 volts if I punch my Redcat Gen 8 even for a second to hop a rock or something the alarm goes off. Then when I turn the alarm on it says all 3 cells are still at 4+ volts, what am I doing wrong?
🤣🤣yeah I'm in Australia New Zealand are our cousins not brothers very close to each other🤣 really like Abbys tip let engine and ESC cool down never gave ESC a second thought knew brush motors a good to cool down, of course it would apply to brushless derr on me lol, cheers Saylors.
I just bought the venom duo charger. So, if you use regular lipo charge you aren’t balance charging it? Even if you plug in the balance lead? Why use the balance lead when not balance charging then?
Hi Nate just watched your video on the lipo alarm great video as I am a beginner I need this type of information also in one of your other videos you mentioned to upgrading your charger I upgraded my USB charger that came with my plane that I got in September the Habu STS once again and upgraded it to 1100 spectrums smart charger not only a budget-friendly charger but a great investment love it.
Does anyone have a video charging and discharging NiMH with the Venom Duo Pro?I just bought it and cannot for the life of me figure it out.This part of the hobby is my downfall Traxxas was easier.
I just bought a spectrum 3s 5000 amh 50 c battery. I ran the battery down the RC car stopped running took the battery home put it on HTRC C150 charger set it to storage charge the battery. It took over 2 hours to storage charge the battery can someone tell me what I did wrong. Did the battery charge to full capacity and then discharge to storage voltage? When I bought the battery I also got a spectrum 150 mini charger and learned from other tubers that it does not really balance and will not storage charge.
Question. I did a storage charge on a Zee 5200 mah 3s battery. I am doing a balance charge as we speak and the mah is at 3000 and climbing. Does that seem normal? I thought a storage charge drops/adds the battery to the "middle" in my case 2600? Thanks
I just cannot agree with the idea of balance charging not being the default charge method. Most chargers are putting balance first and for good reason. It’s lazy not to balance charge every time. However, yes, not balance charging is faster and perfectly fine for when time is a luxury and you need to charge as fast as possible. That’s fine, but always storage after and balance every single time you can.
Does the XBC100 Smart LiPo Battery Checker & Servo Driver do the same job as those little $3 things you're using? Or should I buy them too??
If I have a Lipo battery that is capable of charging higher the 1 amp, how do I know where I can safely put my charger at ? Example my 6s 5000 mah is capable of charging at 5c what can I put my charger at ? Thank you and great video btw
Kitchen just caught fire, and now I am trying to get this noob up to speed. I didn't know what I didn't know. Now I am being diligent about learning about battery safety. This is a great video that is not overwhelming for the beginner. Kudos
Just watched your video. One of your toerag viewers said not to plug the balance lead in first. Then I went over to the official Venom youtube channel and guess what,. The Venom fuerer plugged the balance lead in first. LOL.
I keep many batteries for each size. I usually spend the same on batteries as planes. I also fly until storage voltage. Now that I fly better, I'm looking at batteries lasting. Planes have 100s of flights now😁
You don’t have to wait for the entire vehicle to cool Down between batteries if you have a quality vehicle and know what you’re doing and possibly have certain parts upgraded🤦🏽♂️
Hi I live in Az. Do you keep all your batteries when not in use in your home in an amo box?
I'm very new to the RC would. I'm going by common since to bring them in the summer my garage gets to about 110°
So I want to bring them in the house in a battery box or can they withstand the Heat?
Nate
With the voltage checker and alarm
how do they fit in a plane that only
holds 1 cell battery , a plane like
Sports Cub 2 or the Champ. Nate
the venom Wiad 1 cell battery charger is $31.00.
I feel so stupid I really need help I have a 7.4 lipo 5200mah 32c and I have a lectron pro AC DC 10A charger but I'm not sure what settings to put on to store the batteries can anyone help me
Sad day 2day . i had a spektrum 3s battery for my umx a10 puff and burn in the lipo bag . wasnt even charged . and im still not sure what happend . all we heard was a wooshing sound then we smelled something burnt .so even if they say smart battery. Still gotta watch out .
I am trying to check the voltage of my 6s lipobattery for storage but my charger only reads in percent. I just checked my battery and it says 35 percent. Is that a good storage percent? I don’t know how to make it read volts.
Fellow Rc hobbiest (mainly fpv drones atm) A little late to the game, loved the video my head use to spin thinking about batteries but I have it down pat now and your video helped straighten out some things :)
Subbed and now to take a look at your newer stuff!
Thank you very much my friend!! I hope you enjoy your time here on our channel 👍😃⚓
Hi , for storage battery volt around 3.7v but what is best charging percent should it be for each cell 10% 30% 50% or what !
I bought my first R/C. Is a Carbon Cub S+ BNF. I have not been able to do the set up complete. I was able to bind it. But, it still does not respond at any command. Absolutely nothing please help me.
I have a lipo battery w/c is a 3.7v 300mah..how do I know if it is full when I charge it on my outlet?through USB cable?
hey guys, i know this is kinda late but i didnt know how to ask anywhere else. i have tons of 1S batteries and was wondering if you storage charge them and what process and equipment do you use for that? Thanks, Ron.
Good evening. I hope all is well. What battery what I use for a Carbon-Z P2 Prometheus 1.2m? Thank you!!
So I left a lipo battery in the car after a good few runs with it and then got called to work away. I forgot to remove the battery from the car and put it into storage and it just lost too much charge and couldn't be recovered. An expensive lesson for me. Now I'll always bring it to storage voltage after a run out
There should not be capacitance between the charger and battery if your getting sparks then some thing is very wrong pluging in the balance lead first or Main leads literally won't make a difference. Fly safely
I have been running lipo batt for about 3 years now and never knew they needed to be storage charged. my charger ( Primal radient) does not have storage settings or discharge settings. its no wonder all of my batteries puff up every couple months
Not sure if you knew, but if you hit the increase button during the charge, the Venom will give you the reading if each cell.... Probably be more accurate than those mini testers.
Awesome video keep up the good work, now I know how to storage charge, I am new to electric rc cars, right now the battery is in the fire bag, i will put it in storage charge tomorrow, as I will not be driving it until spring/summer, I will read the manual as i am totally new to lipos and the charger.
