General Lipo questions

[Danny]

Ok totally new to these batteries and im trying to learn as much as I can so I dont nuke anything or mess up the cells. I generally like to be as kind to batteries as possible and go for maximum longievity because well, im a massive tight wad.

So when storing, what voltage and % charge should they be left at? How long is it acceptable to leave them fully charged? Is it ok to charge them the day/night before you want to use them? Or is that too long?

Again I always go for longievity over any possible performance benefits, I used to charge Nimh at 2 or 3 amps and never let the voltage get below 6.0v. So I guess im asking whats the kindest way to treat these things. Cheers!
