If you don't pay attention to your $40+ batteries in 6 monthes-shame on you!
Yes it also means not enough flying time!

Re: Small batteries

You should test them.

I have.

This is why I gave the scenario I did, even though LiPo's are very good with self discharge rates.

If the battery will be stored for a good length of time, storing them at half capacity may not be a good idea.

And if they will be stored for close to a year or more, it would pay to recharge them periodically.
