After about a year of owning 2 gensacearespammers batteries, they have started to play up a bit. When charging one of them, the 2nd cell gets to 4.2v first, but the other 2 cells lag behind at around 4.12v. It eventually balances up to full charge, but takes a while. And also I've notice that both batteries seem to have a chemical smell to them, kind of like nail polish. Especially noticeable when stored in an ammo can for a week or so. Has anyone else experienced this before with their lipos?
Also, I'd like to know other peoples procedures with their lipos. I've always just done the basics, like always storage charge when they are not in use, balance charged at 1c up to 4.2v per cell, and just run the truck down to lvc with usually is about 3.6v per cell at rest. Ive seen strong arguments for only charging your lipos to 4.1 - 4.15v per cell, and using a lipo alarm and only going down to 3.7v per cell, to lengthen the life of lipos. Also, storing them in fridges has been talked about as well. Does anyone else go to these lengths with their lipos? Any information would be great. Thanks.
