[NSRCA-discussion] Lipo storage

[George Kennie]

I fly on occasion through the winter so the packs stay in the car at temps
below freezing for
days at a time and show no deterioration in power when I take them out and
fly and I get no
puffing at these temps. It's only when the weather warms up that I get
puffing and once puffed
the available power seems to diminish.
