so I've got a camping trip coming up, and id like to bring my crawler with me to moab. its were all the real jeeps go to crawl in comps and such. i have nitro i usually take with me, but this time id like to run some electric as well. situations like this is my main reason i still like nitro lol.

i have a few 5000mah 2s lipos 25c. (no puffing, fairly new, never gotten hot)

my trip is 4 days long. so heres my questions.

is it safe and will battery hold charge for up to 4 days?

after running a lipo down to above the cutoff, can it wait 4 days before getting recharged?

are 5 minute run sessions without charging inbetween gonna hurt the battery?
 
You will be fine. As long as their good packs, they will keep their charge and they will be fine not being charged right after. No worries.
 
cool. thanks! kinda a load off my mind. i will still store em in a cool place inside the fire bag anyways, and always. they seem ok... so far i get over a hour on my crawler per 5000mah battery. all hardcase and plastidiped.

i duno if racers edge is a good brand of battery, probly a relabeled other brand like their cars. but they are cheap and so far, work well.
 
You should have no worries with them on the trip. One suggestion, place the fire bag inside a hard case such as an ammo box to avoid getting hit.
 
Just a sugestion, get a charger that runs on 12v car battery.
