Lipo Discharge Rates for storing ? 1C ?

[Rich D]

Bought myself a fancy new charger that allows me to use a "store" mode aswell as charging 2 packs at once.

If the pack isnt at 60% capacity then the charger either charges or discharges until it is using this mode. As we know, storing Lipos fully charged does them no good.

Im charging my Lipos at 1C - is it best to discharge them at the same rate ?

BTW the charger is a Hyperion EOS 0615i Duo3

Thanks !

Anyone shed any light here ?

[paulc]

the chargers i have only allow to discharge at 1c so i'd say that was the best way

Hell, I didn't realise storing them fully charged was no good, is this true?

[muratti]

I also have never heard of the fact that storing LiPos fully loaded does them no good... The LRP instructions of my 5900 VTEC LiPo says it shoudl be stored loaded, however they don´t write if partially or fully loaded... where did you get that information from, Rich?

It is true.

[Alfonzo]

Oh Cock. I've kept mine fully charged for months.

Check the 'For Sale' section for some cheap Lipo's
