Be aware that charge state is impacted by temperature. If you do leave a fully charged pack at the very least don’t allow it to get hotter, that’s not good. For example don't charge then leave it a car out in the hot sun.
One thing you can do if you have a charger that has a fast charge or percentage charge option, is charge to 90% or so if you are charging ahead of time. You only give up a little run time on your first run.
Well, I can only do a charge or discharge to a specified cutoff point. So I'll discharge it to 3.7v/cell which would be 14.8v for a 4s pack.
I got a Lipo Sack, but the charge leads and balancer plug don't quite reach into the bag very well. Where can I buy longer charge leads? my charger uses banana plugs and the balancer is built in. I plug in a little board and then attach my battery's balance lead to the correct plug. That is quite a short wire.
