Batteries didn't like being in "storage"

[little roost]

So someone over here recommended me to keep my batteries "in storage" to improve their lifespan when not flying.
Seemed like a great idea, just store them at 3.8, or that's what they said.

I tried it, the only place where there is 3.8 (°F) is in my freezer, so I put them there, thought I was doing the right thing, but now they seem dead, their internal resistance is at like 200, and they sag.

Any ideas? They're new lipos!!

This is a very common issue. The reason this happened is because your freezer has moisture and the ice formed on it, it’s supposed to be stored in an environment that’s both 3.8° and dry

If you were to put them in some rice for half an hour it should wick out the moisture and they will be working like a charm again

common mistake

you simply have to store them at 3.8° kelvin

damn americans

this is actually the best way to store them but ice crystals forming in the pack destroy them iirc what dae said correctly

[sacred agate]

3.8 VOLTS, NOT TEMP! 60 to 70F is fine

[keen dew]

False

-# look at the date

My post is not fake, it's not April fools info, I am getting 2k cycles out of my batteries

[keen dew]

The actual post you goof

It’s ok because nobody stores at 3.8 anyway

[clever lodge]

Indeed, 4.0v is actually better as it keeps the electrons energized and happy, instead of tired and depressed at 3.8v

[keen dew]

indeed

[true shadow]

I store at 0v why keep energy when you dont need it

[clever lodge]

Nah 4.2v so you can use it directly afterwards

[chilly field]

4.2? I charge to 4.2 when i wanna go fly, else i store it at 5v just to be sure it doesn't die from low voltage

My battery says like 16.6v so 5v should be fineee

this Oz guy genuinely does refrigerate his lipos

this entire thread makes me tweak so fucking hard

i feel high or something reading this

fever dreams ahh

also, i love how this is tagged as solved

||you genuinely wasted 3 lipos on an april fools joke lmfao, how deep is your wallet (spoilered so not to spoil the joke)||

||its ai||

[mellow wren]

||ahh. that would do it. gotta brush up on my slop recognition skills||

||this string of spoilered messages looks real funny, wonder what its saying||

[glad vessel]

As long as you don’t do it with the battery I gifted you lol

That won’t like 5V xD
