Rotate using new lipos?

[Smilinbri]

I searched the threads and didn't see anything about this.

If you guys have a bunch of new lipos, would you use a few for a while then others? Or rotate them all each time? Or does it not matter?

I've just been using 4 (all 3s/2×8k and 2×6k) for now, but have 4 more new ones (all 3s/6k) not used, in storage mode. I'm thinking it's probably better to rotate them each time.

Thoughts? TIA

I agree with your thoughts on rotating them. Even in storage mode cells will age and deteriorate. Slowly, sure. Just my take. YMMV

New packs get broken in first before I start rotating em. Just my preference..

I buy two at a time (have 8 total right now) and tend to run the older sets most but rotate in the newer ones every other week at least. Don’t want them sitting to long really.

I believe the chemicals inside degrade significantly over a moderate period of time (5+ years) even if they're kept at a low state of charge and not cycled, so I rotate them and try not to keep unused ones in storage.
