Storing the LiPo Battery

Storage or nominal voltage is the most stable voltage for a LiPo battery to sit unused.

Home Original battery storage voltage is ~11.1v - 11.4v
Home Plus battery storage voltage is ~14.8v - 15.2v

When not using your LiPo battery pack, store it at approximately 60% of the pack’s rated capacity in a room temperature environment.

During long-term storage, make sure to use or cycle your packs at least once per month since leaving them on the shelf for a prolonged period of time can cause the packs to get severely out of balance, puff/swell or even go dead.

Always use a fireproof container such as a battery charging bag to charge and store the LiPo battery.
Storage & Transportation Bullet Points

  • Store battery at room temperature between 40º and 80ºF for best results.
  • Do not expose battery pack to direct sunlight or heat for extended periods, such as that found in closed vehicles.
  • When transporting the battery, the temperature range should be greater than 20ºF but no more than 150ºF.
  • Storing battery at temperatures greater than 170ºF for extended periods of time (more than 2 hours) may cause damage to battery and possible fire.
  • Store long-term charged to nominal voltage

CAUTION: The battery should always be allowed to come to room-temperature before charging. Charging a hot or cold battery might delay charging or damage the battery. For best results, charge the battery at temperatures between 50º and 80ºF (10º-30ºC).
