Use the search, you've been hear long enough and it's been covered MANY times.

3.85v per cell and check every month, don't let them get too cold (freezing)

Better explained below...

Here's Hyperion'a advice on lipo storage - good for any brand lipo -

"Storage - Lipo should never be stored fully charged, or with less than 50% of capacity remaining. We strongly recommend Hyperion EOS chargers, as they have automatic STORE functions to insure that the packs are in the range of about 60%~70% capacity (3.78V~3.92V resting voltage per cell). After returning home for the day, simply use STORE MODE to achieve this automatically. Batteries are best stored in a cool, dry environment (2~20 °C or 37~68 °F)."


Most recommend storing at 3.85v/cell simply cause its in the middle of the above range. Note this is the resting voltage.
