If you have a lipo in storage mode, how often should you cycle it if you plan on not using the lipo for a year or so? Tried to look it up but all i see is basic info, least what i found.

I have to assume on a 1:1 car, there is always something causing a little bit of drain, like the car's cpu or something.Hi,
Good question. From what I understand from a buddy who has a Tesla, even if the Tesla has a storage mode, when the car is not used for months, the batterie can/would be unbalanced. So, before use it, you must recharge it to only balanced the batterie and avoid damage. There's no indication about number of cycles, but avoid empty/overcharge batterie.
I don't know if we can do a direct parallel with Lipo RC batterie but I would recharge it before using it.
In our case, we use batterie every week-end, even during winter in -20 Celsius. We never used storage mode...

note; I find something in the same direction from EV;
