to get them to storage level you need a charger that can discharge them down... I seem to use my chargers to discharge as much as charge....lol... I charge all my lipos up and bring way more then I ever end up running to the water...... then I need to bring them down to storage level instead of fully charged when they are sitting around...dischargers are always gonna be needed....Originally posted by steveo View Post -
You don't really need to discharge them like NiMh to get a full charge again, when using them and you hit the LVC point, they are already discharged (at a safe voltage because of the LVC point) they are ready to use again. Now if you don't use them for a while, then read this post:Originally posted by steveo View Post

There is a difference between "discharging" lipos and "storing" lipos. You DO NOT want to store lipos fully discharged or fully charged-- "store" mode keeps something like 60% charge level in them (or maybe its 40%...)

3.5V - 3.8V p/cell is a good storage rangeComment

Same thing here! Well, I would usually use all of them during the summer, but now that it's colder I end up not using like 1 or 2 pairs. I always discharge them when I get home, even though it takes a while. And I just got more lipos in the mail yesterday...Originally posted by JMSCARD View Post
