I know there has been a lot of talk about lipo storage so I thought I’d throw out some real life experience.
The lipos in the pic were all charged to race conditions back in early April. Lots of stuff happened and they sat in the basement unused until today. I know lipos are supposed to be stored at 60% or so, but these were stored at 100% and seemed to be just fine. I think their low C rating helped.
I plan to get back to the oval soon and I’ve wondered many times this past Summer if I would need new lipos. Too lazy to get them out and check them I let them sit. They feel and perform just fine. Another testimonial to these packs. Both Maxamps and Win-Force packs seemed to be unscathed. I ran each pack for about 5 minutes in my Slash and they all displayed big balls. True testament to the Slash and the Titan 550 which have sat all this time too. Fun afternoon all in all.
Electronics case that sat dormant for 6 months.
Initial lipo readings after 6 months of sitting.
Maxamps pack which was ready for the first heat… 6 months ago.
Slash after 6 months in basement.
This was supposed to be the awesome display of power after a 6 month dormancy, but not sure you get the full effect from this photo.
