I've read all the warnings and tips but I didn;t seem to prevent me from trashing a Lipo it seems.
I have 2 4S 5000 lipos, both of which I had at 'storage level'.
I then used them at that level to do some settings, bench work. One plugged into the NAZA + Gimbal airframe, the other running a 2.4Ghz BT for Ground station.
I thought these would happily trickle enough power to do some settings - no flying.
However I checked the voltages this morning and on one battery, 1 cell read at 0.0V. With the other 3 cells at 3.6v approx, falling from storage of about 3.8v. Tried to charge and it seems dead.
Surprised it did that but something to learn there. -Charge full, no matter how trivial the load is perceived to be? Maybe load was high? Not sure the power needed for the 2.4Ghz GS thing?
Also might be good to have the JST mini alarms plugged in.
Anyon have advice or experience to share looking after Lipos?
