What is the Proper way to Charge/Discharge Lipo packs

[lincpimp]

Storing them around 50% charge is optimal, as more than that can cause a type of corrosion inside the cell. I just charge them up after they cool down, if I plan to use the lipo in the next few days. I always balance charge and take a mental note of the various info after the pack charges. Maybe a log book is a good idea, sit it next to the charger and that will help you see any variations at a glance. Plus if you ever sold the pack you have some solid info for the buyer.
