I've done my best to research this, both here and out on the web, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. So it's time to ask folks that have more experience with Lipo's than me.
Since I need to do some final avionics/interference testing, and as accessing the batteries aren't the easiest to do, what do folks think about Lipo's charged to about 80 percent capacity being left that way for a week or so? They're 800 mAh 2s' for the Stratologger and the Proton. Need to make sure the GoPro and Mobius Maxi adjacent to them and the EggFinder (2s) and BigRedBee (1s), 48 inches in front of them in the nosecone don't cause any issues when I vacuum test the full-up system.
8 VDC should be plenty for test firing matches, I would think... but just bringing all the batteries up from the customary 7.6 VDC "storage" charge at 0.1 Amp charge rate may take me a while, not to mention the assembly and testing.
Since I'm extremely aware of the fire hazards, I bought a metal toolbox suitable for storing/transporting the AV bay and will keep it on the tile kitchen floor until I'm done and can discharge the batteries back to 3.8 VDC per cell and put back into ammo box storage.
The RC airplane folks say full charge for not more than a couple of days and storage levels for up to 6 months, but I can't find anything for "in between".
So any thoughts on what I'd like to do at 80 percent?
