Thumbs up Storing Lipo over winter?

Hello,

I currently have a Xcelorin 11.1V 1350mAh 3S 30C LiPo battery. I'm not sure how much crawlin i'll be doing here in Canada during the winter. My question is what's the best way to store my battery with out damaging it?

Thanks in advance.

Charge it to 50%. Your charger might have the option to do this automatically.

Charge it until the cells are between 3.7 and 3.8 volts each. That is if the charger doesn't have a storage function.
