Storing MP/RC + Batteries Long Term

[Top Hat]

Guys, let say that flying seasons or vacations or just want to store our flying machines long time.
What would be the ideal % of the batts if we want to do this? Of course some will say that it will never be over
until the fat lady sings but, time will come that every 1 of us will contemplate about this (Long Storage).
If any body out there have already done so please advice us. 1 more thing comes to mind, if we put away our flying machines (long time) are we gonna have issues when we put it out of hibernation's?

You can store your batteries like this for any period of time.

40% to 50% charge level. I would use a volt meter to verify it but the app has decent battery info so you could probably use that. Just go by the individual cell voltages. At this charge level they are as chemically neutral as they can be compared to being fully charged. Never store them depleted. Lipo battery's are 3.7 volts (nominal) to 4.2 volts (fully charged). So 3.9/3.95 VDC per cell or 11.7/11.85 VDC overall.
