Lipo storage question

[Dbnjzb]

So I have a 3s battery I need to put into storage for now. My venom pro charger puts it at 11.1v for storage mode and 9v for discharge??? Which do I use? I read 60% but neither values are 60%. Maybe I'm missing something, please help thx.

This is one of the main reasons I just shelled out for a better charging setup. I grew tired of spending my evenings running back and forth to the charger to check where my packs were at.

You do want the packs at 60%, or 3.85v per cell for storage. You also want to make sure the packs are balanced when stored. If storing for any length of time, I recommend a lipo bag or the like for peace of mind. A Hyperion EOS battery sentry makes checking your packs a lot easier too. Does the Venom charger have a storage mode?

It does have storage mode but it charges it to 11.1v is that correct?! Didn't make sense to me. Thanks!

I guess 11.1 is pretty close!

11.1v is a bit low, should be around 11.55

Ok thanks!
