What SOC should we leave our i-Miev at when storing them for several months?
My assumption has always been that the 80% figure was the magic number when storing cells with this chemistry. I currently store the i-Miev and numerous unused LiPo’s at this value for 4 to 5 months each year. I also note that and my fancy LiPo charger (these LiPo’s are used with various multirotor copters I play with) takes the cells to 80% when using the inbuilt “Storage” feature of the charger.
Would be interest in the current view on this topic and my best option here.....
The Aux battery is stored connected to a small regulated solar trickle charger during storage periods.
