been away for a while. Lipo's not taken care of..??

Right now my money is still on 3.8V/cell. Since that's the generally accepted amount (for whatever reason that may be) I'm going to stick with that until I find evidence that suggests doing something different.

The problem is that it's so hard to get empirical data here, everything is anecdotal e.g. "Well this one guy at my club stored his batteries at XXX volts/cell and his lasted way longer than mine". There's so many factors to account for that it's nearly impossible to get valid data from all of us users.

And think about how long it would take to do a true standardized test: charge lipo, let it sit for 1 week or 2 weeks or 3 months? Then discharge it and repeat about 250 times? Better start on that experiment now, might get some definitive results by the time lipos are old news and we're all using some new latest and greatest battery technology.
