Default New lipo's stored for 2 years, still ok?

As above really, bought 2 new 3 cell lipo packs for a project which didn't happen. They have been safely stored in the warm and never been used.

Being new to lipo's I didn't want to mess with them without knowing if it's safe first.

Thanks

Neil.

If the packs aren't swollen-up then they should be fine...might PM "max-amps" he'ld be a more "reliable source" than I.

They are safe if not puffy. The capacity will probably be low, the shelf life of lipo is right about 2 years. Best use them while you can!

Excellent, thanks chaps. They haven't puffed up at all so I'll give them a charge then....
