Sad Day

[Dave]

Oh man there has been a death in the Smith house tonight.
Just got home from eating out, and it was good Raygun had Italian.

Anyways as it was dark out thought I would break the Msr out and catch a little air time around the house...........and all my batteries are dead and when I say dead I mean goners. Want even take a charge goners. Oh well just something else to buy when I start gathering parts for the 425 build ;D

Of all the 1S LiPo's I've purchased (I've tried them all), only the Nano's from HC and the Hyperions have lasted the longest. Following normal LiPo storage methods (3.85v) also helps with battery life. I think a lot of users tend to misuse these little LiPo's where they charge them up and leave them laying around fully charged.

Hated every second of dealing with lipos. Even though I tried to do everything I could to extend their life. But honestly, I've got hyperions I've had since I first started using them. I've had a few fall by the wayside, but I had a hand in that. The original packs from my ESC fire on my 600, still got 'em. Plastic cover scorched and melted , they are still kickin'. They are close to two years old... many cycles, all rapid charges.

I tried to help you Dave while you where eating an Italian I was soaking your batteries in salt water for desert!!!

Your doctor told me you needed to be on Lithium

Condolences in your hours of grief Dave.

I don't know. I think we're seeing a new side of ray. ;D

Anyhow, I've abandoned the lipo storage stuff. It's a pain in the arse. What changed my mind was that I had, literally, forgotten some lipos for over a year stored at full charge. They were in a drawer at room temp. After I discovered them, I put them back on the balance charger and found them to be like new. Cycled them a few times, flew them numerous times. All A OK. The results were the same regardless of the brand. I might just be lucky in this area but that's how it happened here.
