The two manufacturers you quoted seem to agree on 3.85v

3.78 - 3.92 is the middle of that range not 3.85v ?
3.8 - 3.9 again the middle 3.85v ?


So the chemistry in the SMC cells is different to every other manufacturer ?

Sounds like a lot of waffle

I've left all my lipos (cheap zippys to more expensive 45c discharge boost's) fully charged for weeks with no issues

All of them have over 50 cycles on them

Only now that I have a charger that will discharge / charge automatically (to storage voltage) that I even bother

I use the following chargers and they both store at 3.85v

fmadirect Cellpro 4s Gold
icharger i106b

So according to the SMC rep I cant use storage mode with SMC batteries on my chargers because it leaves them at 3.85v ?

Never heard of a lipo fully charged puffing (unless it was over-charged) while in storage

I'm not bagging SMC dude, never used their batteries and have heard good things

I'm all for using any batteries that are good bang for buck

Cheers
