If I use my lipo's only on the weekends, is it ok to store them at 25-30degree Celsius during the week? Is there a better storage temperature range for my situation?

Also, what would be a good temperature range for long term (1 month or more) storage?

Most common recommendation is 50% charge and in refrigerator in sealed bag so no condensation as warmed up then recharge before use. The time is ???? I myself a weekend warrior just stop at 85% run time and leave on garage floor where cool until I go fly then charge. During winter here is like frige.

What is your recommended temperature in the fridge? (specify Celsius or Fahrenheit)

40 to 75 is what I have heard in F

What I have heard is keep them at room temp or below, but a good amount above freezing (like 40F for example)

oh, one more thing, that is more or less for long term storage, I think if you use them about every weekend what you're doing is probably fine. If you have a colder room in the basement, you might try sticking them there.

I have a small fridge that I can dedicate to lipo batteries, should I store them even when fully charged in this said fridge or just store them in there at the 3.8V per cell storage voltage if not used for more than a week or two...?
