Quick Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Hi, First post so hello. Fairly new to RC so please forgive the questions. When using smaller lipos for smaller RC cars like the Axial scx24, is there any need to storage charge them after use? Assuming the answer to that is yes, does the charger that comes with the Axial SCX24 offer that function? http://www.axialracing.com/t/vehicles/scx24 Similar question for the Associated 28 scale range. Does the USB charger they come with allow you to storage charge? Or is it not a concern? Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. i normally just give it a quick charge up to around the storage level. after using your USB charger for a while you will work out how long to charge it for. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) what size lipos are they OP 1s or 2s? i do the same as turok with my mini drone lipos (1 and 2s 450mah ) use a charge board too so you can do a few at a time etc bear in mind some usb ports are 3v or 5v so can get the time down a little 👍 Edited September 24, 2021 by Bajadre 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The batteries for the Axial are 350mah 2S. For the Associated, it’s an integrated battery which I think is a 1S Lipo but not sure of mah rating. You charge it thorough the controller / transmitter or through an optional USB cable. OK so the consensus is… don’t leave them flat. Just charge them 50% of usual time and store?
