Gens Ace are having a laugh, the most overpriced nonsense I’ve seen for ages 🤣🤣🤣

I'm sure I read that the self storage happens after the charged state is present for 5 days, then it lowers the voltage to storage levels.
However, we aren't advised to leave a normal lipo charged for days at a time though...
Basically if you are willing to pay that much for a 4s, you are an idiot!

Not sure why people are knocking the self-storage, that's a good feature. People love to act like they're infallible, i bet at least half the people in this forum do not storage charge after every run.
The price is of course beyond stupid, but the self storage discharge isn't responsible for that. I have a few packs that self-storage, and while they are slightly more expensive than comparable normal lipos, it's not by much. I don't know how much a 10AH 100C HV pack usually is, but their lower spec 6s pack is overpriced too, by around £50ish. 6s 6.8AH 100C HV pack, £180. If they come down to £120-£130, i'll certainly humour the thought. At that point they're £20 more than a Graphene Panther (75C, 6AH and not HV), which is reasonable.
The issue purely is the price, not the tech. And the tech isn't responsible for that big an increase in price.
