Everyone says you shouldn't store LiPo batteries with your plane/quad/tricopter unless you're ready to use them. I would suggest that the two shouldn't mix until you're actually flying.
I was going to go flying later today and put my batteries in my carrying case last night so I could throw it in my car and go as soon as I got home from work. This morning I found out that one of the Turnigy LiPos had combusted inside of the toolbox completely ruining my scratchbult tricopter, my radio, spare parts case, and the toolbox itself.
This battery had only one flight on it, zero crashes, and had been properly balance charged two weeks ago. I am proof that this can happen to anyone. Let my incident remind you to always store your batteries in a LiPo Safe bag or ammo can.
If anyone has suggestions for higher quality LiPo batteries, please let me know!
