LIPOs lost punch

[Catch 22]

I have 2 track power lipos for my LRP Shark that i hadnt used for a year . I went to revive them last week . One was fine and one had puffed up. the one that looked fine i charged it up and it is good as new.

I threw the puffed up one in a bucket of snow outside ....next morning it wasnt puffed up anymore. Its half down a bucket of sand at the moment

my bantam is storing them at 7.4 volts
pretty cool in storage mode my bantams will either charge em or discharge em to required voltage!

had u left them flat or full?

the puffed one just discharge at low amps and its safe to dispose off

I've just gone through the store routine for my Speed Passions - they weren't fully charged anyway and have been used recently.

I'll charge them up the week before Petit along with the new ones I have coming.

I had just stored them after the last run i did with them ( 5 min run ) so i guess they would have been at about 75%
