lipo storage
Where is the best place to store my lipos was going to keep them in the shed but not sure as it gets cold at night or on summer days it gets fairly hot would I be better storing them in the house?

storage
ideally not in the house, but if in the house get yourself an old metal ammo crate to store them in, thats what alot of people do ( and vent it).
from what i have read most of the problems with lipos are when charging in correctly.

If I'm racing reguar I make sure they've been used for a run, disconnect them and store them with the rest of my RC gear under the stairs in a LiPo sack (or in the cars if I forget to take the last used one out of it). Been doing this for many years along with countless other racers with no issues whatsoever.
I only use a bag to charge them in and at 1C when racing as that's what the BRCA says, at home they get charged in the open. The only LiPo I've seen go up is when the drive pin on a Durango has worked loose and ripped through the case and the cell itself.

Irrespective of the storage location or condition, don't keep them where the temperature varies outside the range of 5degC to 40 degC. Above or below that the performance will drop when next used.
That's from almost all the LiPo spec sheets I have ever seen, and leaving mine in the shed for a week of cold winter nights (by mistake) did for them. HTH

I've never seen that advice anywhere before (the .pdf linked above) and can only assume that this works for the lower specification cells they use in flying.
Phones, computers, etc. all have instructions that state low temperatures must be avoided. Since we know the electronics work at low temps (aircraft engine controllers, spacecraft, satellites, etc.) then the batteries are the main concern. As I said above, my experience with cells for RC cars and low temps is that they don't like it and they deteriorate rapidly. HTH
