Lipo storage

[wamf]

I'm moving and will need to store my lipos for a little while. Should I keep them in a fire proof box? They won't be stored for more than a month.

as long as there's no risk of short cut, I don't see any reason to store them in a fire proof box!
but it has to be dry and not too warm, and at 50% charged!

Thanks. Why a 50 percent charge?

Store them at nominal voltage ..ie: 3.7v per cell.Storing at full charge leads to problems
good luck with the move

I read somewhere (I know that's not a precise bit of info here but if you seach on the web you'll find some charger that have this feature) that some manufacturer recommand to keep them at 3.8 to 3.85V/cell witch correspond to 50% never go below 30%.
