Max. cell imbalance LiPo?

[The Bean]

What's the maximum cell imbalance (max. V - min. V) you'd run or store your LiPo with?

I currently don't have any poorly balanced LiPos, but this would be good info to have.

Each cell is an individual battery, so the difference on the storage charge doesn't really matter too much as long as it's in the acceptable range. Since storage charge is typically 3.6-3.8V per cell you've got some margin.

I always have the charger balance the battery when I do a storage charge so they aren't off by more than a few mV at most, typically see less than 20 mv (0.02V) difference. Some of that is due to the accuracy of the battery checkers too.

It's just my opinion, I'm sure other will have different opinions.

I have a pair of 6750mah 3s and by mistake i drained one down to low 3v range

two of the cells cannot reach 4.2v anymore. they get upto 4.15v. only one charging so far and did not notice any battery temp differences. not warm or anything. That said, i would go more than 0.5v...and even that is kind of allot.
