What is the proper way to put lipo's in storage mode
Just wondering what the proper procedures/ settings are to put a lipo into storage mode? I inderstand to put it in that setting on your charger but do I need to hook up the balance lead as well and at what current setting is best/safe?
Thanks
Thanks

Just leave the cell/cells between 3.6 and 3.8 volts and it should be fine, make sure they're stored in a safe place and check them once in awhile. Also it's best to store them in a cool place.

So I used the lipo storage mode on my charger and monitored each cell as it discharged. In the end each cell automaticly went down to 3.84 on the one pack and 3.84, 3.84. & 3.83 on the next.
Thanks for the info

RE: What is the proper way to put lipo's in storage mode
On my charger, the Storage Mode charges/discharges the pack at a max of 1 amp, no higher. On my higher-capacity packs, I'll sometimes put it on a normal charge at moderate amperage (3A) for a while, before I put it on Storage charge, as it tends to time out if storage-charged at 1A.

Good point. Mine does the storage mode at a max of 2 amps but still good to keep in mind for higher capacity packs
