Lipo Batteries
Being a Newbie with Lipo batteries; I would like to know
if they should be left fully charged up while not in used???
Is it OK to keep them charged up... say... while trimming up
a new model and waiting for days for the right moment,
to do the first test flight???
Need all the help that you can give me.

RE: Lipo Batteries
Guy,
Yes, one of the many advantages of LiPos over NiCd and NiMH batteries is that they will keep the charge for many weeks without needing a re-peak before flying. LiPos are great for being ready to fly when you are.
For long term storage (many months or over winter) it is better to keep them stored at half charge and in a cold place. This keeps the capacity loss minimal over time.
