Measuring prop???? and other ????
 
How do you measure a 3 blade prop:confused:
Can you charge a 3s 2600 at a rate more than 2.6 amps:confused:
What is the safest way to dispose your puffed lipos:confused:
How should I store my lipos after balance cycle? 50%:confused:
My first battery I ever had I charged it then stored it like that for months then when I finally used it I ran it completely dead (that's a no no) then she puffed up like a bullfrog. It'ill still charge 95% but it needs to go. I keep my batteries in a steel ammo box and I would hate for this thing to burn up all my other batteries.

Prop- measure from the hole to the blade tip. Double that number to get the diameter.

Charging- Depends on the battery. Some manufacturers rate their lipos for more than a 1c charge, while others don't.

Disposal- You have 2 choices, the right way and the fun way. The right way is to discharge the battery completely using first your charger then a low current draw such as a small lightbulb. Then soak it in saltwater for 2 weeks and dump it in the trash. The fun way is to stab it with a screwdriver on a flame safe surface and watch it go off like a Roman candle. Then toss the charred remains in water for a day or two and throw it away.

Storage- 40-50% is pretty standard for storage. It's helpful if you are not going to use them for a month or two.

You can also throw the lipos in a fire when having a barbeque(Spelling correct?). In South Africa we use an Afrikaans word- braai.This can only be done after the guys are drunk as skunks?!?!!

Use a nail instead of a good screwdriver.
