Lithium-Polymer battery packs should be left at storage voltage (3.85V/cell) if not being
used for more than 7 days. Storage at full charge will decrease the lifespan of the pack and
it will become swollen prematurely.
The packs should be stored in a cool, dark and most importantly fireproof location. Li-Po
packs have been known to spontaneously combust if damaged or abused. As such, the
storage space should be fireproof and sealed to contain any flames or smoke.
