Battery Storage

[LouK]

After flying the q500 the batteries are at 3.7 or 4.5 voltz. Is there a minimum or maximum that they should be stored before the next use?

From my experience, they should be stored between 3.7 & 3.8v per cell. They can explode at 4.5v. And yes, I have blown up a few old lipo batteries just to see what happens. Under safe, controlled conditions of course!

Thank you, If I understand they should be discharged down to 3.7- 3.8v per cell to store safely.

3.8v for storage. Watch the 3rd video.
