If you have never charged it all, I wouldnt. Many lipos ship about 50% charged but also have a preservative that breaks down the first time you charge them. This preservative gives the cells a longer shelf life, but it dissipates upon the first charge.
Sorry, its been a few years since I read about it, and now I cant find the source article. I do recall reading about it on a reputable source though.
Oh man! Sweet-Vapes pulled their house e-juices offline. Now what am I going to do? I only have 2ml of their Nutty Coffee left and I haven't found anything that tastes even close to this. It neither tastes nutty or coffee like to me and it tastes like nothing I ever had before. But those days when you get sick of the taste of all of your juices, this one changes everything. They are pretty stiff lipped over there and they probably won't tell me how to DIY it.
I was going to charge it & try it out with all the post of problems, I thought it would be the right thing to do. Now I know what to do for sure Oh I charged all of mine up right away and ran them through each mod to make sure they all work perfectly. I'll just keep them in rotation so each one will be at full charge (ok just at 4.10v per cell) while sitting. And after 250 recharges or 10 years passes by, I will probably need to replace all of the lipos once again. No big deal, since they will probably have better lipos by then. Maybe those that last a lifetime will become available.Lucky for me, My spare DX battery is untouched

It's nice to know I left it in the best state for long term storage It was just a fluke for me, cause I had every intention to check it out, but never got around to it
I have so many lipos for laptops, cameras, phones, MP3 players, RC, etc. The hardest thing is checking on the ones you don't use every year or so. I have some that are over 17 years old and I don't even check those anymore. When I checked them 5 years ago, most of them were still going, but lost quite a bit of capacity.My spare DX battery will probably stay in long term storage, I have enough mods & batteries on the go now
Indeed. I still have two Toshiba 2595XDVD laptops with Windows 98, but they came with lipos. I am pretty sure my two Compaq Concerto (Windows 3.1) uses NiMH packs. I have three packs and last time I checked, one is still working fine. I think those were the first commercially available Windows tablets. They still work too.
I just pulled it out, it is a Lipo after all, I might have gotten confused with this old Apple laptop that I ran across recently. Anyway It didn't have enough juice in the battery to boot so it's on AC power now. The AC cord plugs into the laptop directly, no power pack.Indeed.

Well in my case, the problem was with the pins on the board itself. I thought it was the battery originally, I was wrong.Lucky for me, My spare DX battery is untouched
