But to your question, either charge before you use them or charge to a slightly lower voltage like 4.1v. The lower voltage is not damaging and I doubt you'll notice the difference. Personally, I charge before I use them and storage charge them after I use them.
Really? I have had two lipos for a little over a year now, and I run them on the weekends. ( One is a Zippy Flight Max 4000 mah and the other is a turnigy 5000 mah ).
I charge them when i get home after a race, and let them sit fully charged until raceday the next weekend. That's 6 days of fully charged and they still run perfect.....
Never out of balance and never swelled. Where did you get that info from?
