you need to charge them on storage charge with your charger, and even then, they should be cycled every month or so, at least thats how i do it. Someone may do it different......

Ok, there are going to be there for a month at most I only have two LiPo's too. So there is not going to be 10 different batteries. Also what is storage charge?

If you have a smart charger, there should be a setting on it for storage charging.

I have a Onyx 245 it has balancing but I do not know about storage charge. I looked it up on google and did not see anything.

If it doesn't have storage setting, you can either discharge on charger till about 3.85V per cell, Or run down on car till you think low level is reached, then charge up to 3.85V.
Then store the lipos in the lipo sack in a cool dry place.

Your owner's manual should have a section about storage charging. I know they don't have an actual setting, but they do tell you how to do it (my 235 does).
