Default Cool your batteries

Hi guys, I'd like to share this interesting article with some scientific data on recommended storage of your Lithium based batteries.

Most folks are swearing up and down on how important it is to store your Lipo batteries at 40% charge, but they are leaving out the MOST important factor... temperature effects the longevity more than anything else.

In short, it is highly recommended that you store your batteries in the fridge (NOT THE FREEZER) if you want them to retain their capacity ratings as best as possible
