Do lipo's need recharging if left for a while...

[Cossie]

As the title say's really.

Got a few lipo's now for the rex and my new Swift. The ones for the rex have been fully charged about two/three weeks ago.

I haven't attended or used them since because of the weather/work/family etc.

Do they need recharging again or will they be fine lift as is?

Thanks guys

Put it this way,most of the lipo manufacters ship them either 1/2 charge or full(got this info from West London Models)-they can sometimes sit on the shelf for months and unlike nicads/nimh cells-the reduction in capacity is minimal- I've still got some flightpower evo's from last year(feb) that are still new in packets and recently just checked them over-still reading over 11 volts-to answer your query regarding if they need recharging... no, providing the last charge was no more than a month ago,they'll be fine,
If in doubt,you can always put them on a maintenance charge (Schultz 330-d
has on)- don't know if yours has the same....

Jim,
The packs will be fine for quite a while.
If it's a while again before you get to fly, all i would do is put them on your CellPro charger just to make sure they're full.

Cheers,
