New to LiPo - Any Tips?

[butters86]

Hi All,
I've just ordered a:
Turnigy 5000mAh 2S1P 7.4v 30C hardcase pack

Wow, that was big...


Anyhoo - When it arrives what should I do first, do I charge, balance, etc.
I have a Turnigy Accucell 6 charger.


Also what should I set the cut-off voltage on my ESC to?


I'm a little apprehensive about LiPo as they sound dangerous in the wrong hands so I'm just after a few tips for running, charging, caring for, storing.


JIC it's relevent I have a 9.5T Turnigy Trackstar Motor and it's a 2WD Buggy it's being used for.
