How to Safely Store LiPo Batteries at Home

Question: What is the safest way to store LiPo batteries at home?

Answer: To safely store LiPo batteries, first ensure they are charged to around 3.7–3.8 volts per cell, known as storage voltage. Never store them fully charged or fully discharged. Use a fireproof LiPo storage bag or a metal container with ventilation for added safety. Keep batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials. Ideally, store them at room temperature between 15–25°C. Avoid physical damage by placing batteries where they won’t be crushed or punctured. Check batteries regularly for swelling or damage and dispose of any compromised packs properly. Lastly, never leave charging batteries unattended and always use a LiPo-compatible charger to maintain battery health and safety.
