Users who use lithium - polymer (Lipo) batteries often have questions about proper storage to ensure battery performance and safety. Here are some common Q&As regarding Lipo battery storage:

Q: What's the ideal state of charge for storing Lipo batteries?

A: It's recommended to store Lipo batteries at a 30% - 50% state of charge. This helps to avoid the battery voltage being too high (which may cause swelling or safety risks) or too low (leading to over - discharge and permanent damage) during long - term storage.

Q: What environment conditions are best for Lipo battery storage?

A: Store Lipo batteries in a cool, dry place. The ideal temperature range is usually between 15°C - 25°C (59°F - 77°F). Avoid high - temperature environments (like direct sunlight or near heaters) as heat can accelerate battery degradation, and also stay away from humid areas to prevent moisture - related damage.

Q: How does long - term storage affect Lipo battery performance?

A: If stored improperly for a long time, Lipo batteries may experience capacity loss, increased internal resistance, and even swelling or leakage. Even when stored correctly, there will be a slow self - discharge process. So, it's advisable to check and recharge the batteries to the proper storage state of charge every few months during long - term storage.
