Alex34 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 In what state should NiMH batteries be stored, charged or discharged? If discharged, to what voltage for an 8 cell 9.6V?
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted September 13, 2015 Supporters Posted September 13, 2015 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
Alex34 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 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?
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted September 13, 2015 Supporters Posted September 13, 2015 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 Alex34 1
AK47frizzle Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 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. Alex34 1
