Default Charge Or Not?

I just orderd some new batteries and before I even received them I totalled my trainer last night. Well, the question is since I won't be using these batteries for a couple months or so is it better to let them sit with no charge until I need them? Or should I charge, cycle, and maintain them until they're needed? Thanks.

Default To charge or not to charge

Since most packs come uncharged, and may have sat on the shelf for a short period of time uncharged, I don't think it would hurt them to sit a little longer uncharged. I too will be curious to see if someone else tells you otherwise. Sorry about your loss.

that's all right. i actually kind of enjoyed watching it plummet to the ground. since it couldn't have been my depth perception, i concluded that the tree jumped in front of the plane. damn trees.

Just put them in a plastic bag and put them in your refrigerator (not freezer). When ready to use allow them to come to room temperature and charge them for 16-20 hours.
