I was wondering the same thing about the cold. Wife doesnt really like having them in the basement.

Actually cold storage is recomended for Lipos, has to do with putting the chemistry dormant.

OK....does that apply to the cold temps of the frozen tundra here in Edmonton? -20C?

I was thinking of throwing them in one of those coolers on my deck

I'm gonna store my lipos in the freezer wrapped in 2 ziplock bags inside a military ammo box that's weather proof :)
