Good to know!

Also on the maxamps lipo care page, it says to cycle it atleast once a month since leaving them on the shelf for a prolonged period of time can cause the packs to get severely out of balance or even go dead.

When I get finished running, I charge them to 65 - 70% and then recharge before using. I left come stored at 50% for almost 3 months and they all puffed. I don't use 50% any more.
