In what state should NiMH batteries be stored, charged or discharged? If discharged, to what voltage for an 8 cell 9.6V?

Don't bother trying to store them charged

 

To me they always seemed to lose charge in storage

But that is normal I think....

 

Lipo's can't be allowed to drop too low or they crap out if they deplete too much

(Think its below 3v they start to screw up a bit but don't quote me)

 

Use nimah's n charge the night before

 

Replace as n when with lipo is what most of us have done now

I don't use NiMH, just storing a mate's gear who just got into airsoft. He used the battery today and I want to know the best way to store the battery?

I don't "think" it matters coz they do lose charge on their own

 

dunno ig google or anybody would know the absolute correct answer

but they deffo lose charge anyway I found - even new ones I bought with first gun

They're not volatile batteries so anything method of storage will do tbh, as long as it's not hot - some people even store them in freezers.

 

As duck said, they die pretty fast overnight so it's pointless chargin them fully and leaving them expecting to have enough juice for a morning session.
