Default RE: Lipo lost capacity?

Yeah it sat all winter with a full charge. I 've read that lipos are to be store at about 50% charge, but does storing them at 100% make them lose capacity? I'm basically trying to figure out if its my battery or my esc or my charger. I s there a way to tell if its undeniably my battery? I had a coworker charge my battery on his thunder power charger ad he thinks its just fine. But his charger doesn't tell him capacity numders like the triton. Should I discharge the battery to see how much it pulls out?
