Slyster ~

Thanks for sharing this info... You have some good information to offer and not just for gents with a B-400.... I was very interested in reading on the info on lipo storage in a fridge :

KEEP YOUR LIPOS ALIVE!
- Long term storage (fridge good) at about 3.8V/cell. 3.8*3 = 11.4V 3s (7.6V for 2s)
- Allow the battery to go less than 3V per cell will kill it! (9V for 3s and 6V for 2s)
- Fully charge to 4.2V per cell. 3*4.2 = 12.6V for 3s (8.4V for 2s)
- Lipos should be stored FULLY charged for only 5 days or less.
I would have never guessed and in fact, thought opposite until further research showed likewise :

And from the battery manufacturer themselves :

It goes to show we all learn something new everyday.... I bookmarked your link, and will offer it to people in the future... Thank-you.....
