Default RE: very cold lipo ?

after it returned to temp it shouldnt be a problem to run it. i wouldn't try to run it at such cold temps, lipos are picky about that and you'd get very poor preformance, but i don't know of any reason why not to use it... we used to use lipos on our electric snowmobile team so the cold didn't totally destroy them...

i just want to know how it ended up there... sounds like a good story...

lipos can go to about -40F before they are damaged. So unless you have a really crazy freezer, let them warm up and they'll be fine.
I actually store my lipos in the fridge when I don't plan on using them for a few weeks or more. Just make sure they warm up to room temp before you try to charge/use them.
