Which part of Utah are you in? I'm just south of Provo.

I just keep all my lipos in a balsa wood box between the water heater and a propane tank. lol

Actually, they're in an ammo box in my office. No problems in six years. I have even shot fully charged lipos, and got nothing more than smoke from them.

I think the biggest concern is overcharging them or dead-shorting them. Keep them at 60% charge when not in use, and you shouldn't have any problems bringing them inside. If they're just sitting there in a box, they lose power until they die, from what I've seen.

My $.02 anyway on the matter
