You prob don't need to worry about that kind of short time storage. How long? Ntr sure an anybody really knows.

What I've read is routinely charging to 100% and leaving them for a week say between races or uses, is detrimental to long life. SMC is now saying their lipos will puff if treated like this and to store them at low voltage, 7.2v was what Bryan/SMC said to use for 2S (3.6v/cell) and they go by voltage, not by capacity (which is how most chargers that have a storage fcn work...).
