Some chargers have a "storage mode" programme in them, mine has the feature and will either discharge on charge each cell to 3.85v as a storage charge.

So for a 2 cell lipo this would be a nominal voltage of 7.70v, a 3 cell would then be 11.55v.

I usually leave them in the state they are after they come off a 5 minute race. Never had a problem doing this over the past few years.
