and then conect all of my batteries together. then all the cells would balance amongst themselves.
Is this just a stupid idea?
I don’t think it will work but electronically doing that will just cause a greater loss in theory due to leakage.
The one thing I can remember for deep storage was simply make sure the connector solder joints were well insulated with heat shrink even coat the joint in dielectric grease and tape up the connector with quality electrical tape, when taking the battery out of bed and tape removed the plug must be fully cleaned of grease with electrical contact cleaner.
The thing I learned with lipos is they do like to sit at storage when not using them and not letting them when not in use may throw the balance off. I practice making sure my lipos are at storage voltage, it doesn’t seem to be a battery memory issue as I notice odd voltages as well without reason or apparent problem that even existed before hand.
Newer lipos do not seem to take damage from under volt-ing.. thou I do not purposely do so unless the battery is beyond the usage stage.
