Battery Tip

[William E Burrows Jr]

I use Reaction Battery part# DYNB0500.
The size is a perfect fit for the battery box in my Losi and Vekta 5.
I have go though 4 of these due to excessive swelling in the past 2 years.
DDM advised me that this is a common problem using this battery.
The tip is to discharge it in storage mode until the next time you use it.
I just started this procedure so i will see if it extends the life.
Best Regards,

Absolutely agree with this advice. LiPo batteries are unstable at anything other than storage power levels 3.7-3.82 v per cell. Generally if I am not using the battery within 2 days then it goes back to storage mode.
