That is correct, but I would go even further. Storing a lipo fully charged for any length of time increases IR which reduces performance, speeds up capacity loss, and can cause swelling.

Temperature changes while charged are particularly bad.

I used to charge some packs the night before heading to the track. Since starting to only charge right before use pack performance and life has improved significantly.

Better charging capability > lots of packs charged up ahead of time.
