In cold weather months when the batteries are in low usage do you rotate them or use the same one when flight times are low? I used a label maker so to identify which battery would be in use at any given time. At this point 2 are still asleep. The concept of this type of battery is so different from the nicads and lithium batteries I was used to in the stone age.
 
Probably personal preference. I cycle all of them. Keeps the charge cycles close to the same.

I like to rotate my batteries -- even in hot weather months.
 
I like to rotate my batteries. I have them numbered (7 batteries for my MA, 4 for my MM) and ensure I work my way through the lot. I also track them on Airdata UAV to ensure proper maintenance and use. Battery care is an integral part of this hobby to improve longevity and stability of cells. Enjoy your flying.
