What crap. I've left Zippies fully charged sitting for months w/o issue (not a good idea tho.)

Hell, I still have 10C TrueRC lipos that are several years old that still run well. They even are a bit puffed from drawing too much on them, but F it, a year later they are still fine.

So do they give a half-life then on the lipos? How many hours can it be charged w/o self-destruction?
12 hrs is too much, what about 8, 6, 4? Maybe its just something that happens overnight. If charged enough, it has the energy to turn back into a pumpkin?
