Darren Frosty Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Sometimes, if I am planning to go out but then some disaster happens and I can't go out I end up with fully charged lipo's that need to be storage charged. My charger (Q200) times out at 120 minutes which isn't long enough. Is it safe to increase this to I dunno, 240 mins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 i only eve use storage charge at the end of the winter over xmas if they wont get used its fine to leave them full for a week or two til your out next buddy,just top them up when you know u can get out next 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 What voltage are they at when they timeout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Frosty Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 They were at 3.95 Am I being a fool religiously putting everything in storage after a trip out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 No, it should be done every time. 3.95 is a little high. Aim for 3.8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Frosty Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 I just started the cycle again and it reached 3.8 within the 120 minutes. So would it be safe to increase the time out period do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
