LiPo storage question??

[MCNorris]

I am going to discharge my lipos for storage, What amp should I discharge them at? it's a 2200 mah 3s 20C.

Doesn't really matter what amperage you discharge them at. Just set the discharge level on your charger to half capacity.

 

[MCNorris]

All I can set is the amps, 0.1~1.0 and the type of lipo

just go run your rig till the battery needs charged

 

[MCNorris]

lol, its for the heli and I'm too scared to fly it!

 

[slowngreen]

That the one from Ron? Just do it!

 

[MCNorris]

Yea, I've been learning a little bit at a time, it's alot harder than it looks and even harder to keep your cool when its sideways about to hit the pavement!

You could always sell it to me for cheap.... i just started with heli's and i LOVE them.

I'm not looking to sell it lol

If I am not mistaken you are not supposed to store lipos discharged, you are supposed to leave a charge in them. At least 40% charged but I just leave mine charged.

 

[MCNorris]

Yea, they were fully charged and I discharged them to 3.4v a cell

My Hyperion DUO II has a Lipo store mode built in to the charger and it charges or discharges the battery to 60 % of the total pack capacity. I have also heard and read in other places 60% TCP was the magic number.
