Chances are if you store them fully charged, they will bloat. But there could be some lucky exceptions. I consider SMC as a good brand and yet I fell victim to a bloated lipo because of my own doing. What more if this was done to a cheap and relatively unknown lipo brand. Even if you follow all the do's and dont's for lipo, they will still eventually bloat. But I am surprised at 2 cheap Turnigy Nanotech lipos I bought late last year just for the heck of testing them. I have been charging them at up to 3C (rated at 5C max) and have used them practically every weekend and so far no bloating.
