Another thing to note about lipos is the importance to discharge the batteries between flying sessions. By not discharging, the batteries develop internal resistance and are prone to being volatile even when sitting. The discharge that occurs through flying is typically not enough to get the pack down to its nominal voltage. You need to discharge the packs through a "storage mode" via your charger.
