How long do lipo batteries last when stored?
I have an over abundance of lypo batteries now that I run my 500 on three cells. Eight 2200 to be exact that I'm not sure what to do with I also have four 4000mha three cell lypos that I want to hang onto. I would sell the 2200 ones but I need to put the original ends back on and haven't got around to it yet. For me a relative newbie three cells on a 500 is the way to go makes a much more gentle handling machine. This last statement is my opinion only and this setup would not work for 3D flying.

Before you swap the ends back, what are on them now?

Re: How long do lipo batteries last when stored?
Ive had lipos sitting on the shelf at 80% capacity for over 3 years and all I did was fully charge them and go fly. They still work great.
If your going to sell them. either leave the plug on or cut the plugs off and sell them without plugs, so the buyer can choose his type of plug. Just shrinkrap the ends. Dont expect to get much for the older batteries though. HK is selling that size new for somthing like $9 each plus shipping. |

Re: How long do lipo batteries last when stored?
Some have deans some have the yellow HK ones. I just bought six Thunder Power 5s 5000mha and a charger that I can't get to work. Two I put HK ends on and the rest are still in thier packs If I could charge them on my HK charger I would but the ends don't fit. I think I will sell that stuff and go back to HK at least they all work together.
