I have a question or two. the say you should store your LiPOs at 3.8 whatever volts, a storage voltage. At the same time, they say you can chage these Tx batteries up once and use them for several months on a single charge.
How long should you leave a fully charged LiPO before needing to discharge it to a storage charge?
For how many days, weeks or months can you leave a LiPO fully charged and not have ill effects?
I like the idea of being ready to fly but if I need to discharge the battery after use since I probably will not use it in full and then recharge it anyway to full capacity before flying, what is the point besides having the full charge done in about 1-1.5 hours?
Is the need to store them at a storage voltage ture for LIFe cells? If so, what is the voltage for them to be stored at?
I have seen NiMH up in the 1650 mAh capacity so there isn't a benefit to greater flying time in the LIFe cells. Other than the quick charge, what is so great about them for Txs?
thanks. Still interested in LIFe cells for Txs but need more education......
