If I ever had the need to store any of my lipo batteries I would plug the mod into Evolv and get an exact voltage reading for each cell.
Otherwise you can use a multimeter and make sure it's between 3.8v and 3.85v per cell:)

Thanks Dan.

In my case the lipo batteries are new and just have wires hanging out. The multimeter idea is a good one .:thumb:
Got lucky - just tested and both batteries came from SXK at resting voltage of 3.8V

I found this page on lipo batteries. It has much lipo info that might be helpful to you. https://rogershobbycenter.com/lipoguide
It's not a vaping related site but I think the lipo info is solid.

There is a section on chargers and proper storage voltage (3.8v) near the bottom of that web page.
Thanks SMT.

Seems like the model car/plane people are the experts on lipos. Will definitely give that a read. :thumb:

    I'm not sure either. I know that even though the authentic Billet with its DNA 60 is supposed to be ok, I did have a problem with a juice dump in mine abut a year ago. The board went crazy after a leak so I opened up the enclosure (had to break the BB seal :oops:) and cleaned and dried it. It's been ok ever since.
    The delro is pretty safe because the board is separated from the tank on the same horizontal plane. You'd have to make a seriously bad mess to get the board wet. It can't leak through the positive pin like BBs and some other boro mods.
    Like Trucker said, it's not really something to worry about if you wick your RBAs ok.

    One trick when wicking new RBAs for the first time is to not fill up your boro tank. Just put enough in to test the wicking. When you're confident, you can fill her up.

    So the Boxx is isn't in the same box as the Delro, with the separation? And regarding wicking - if anyone is going to :censored: it up at least once, it's me!

    Great to hear that your batteries are all ready for storage Mate:thumb:
    Any reliable info on lipo batteries that you see regarding remote control aeroplanes and cars is gold, that's where us lipo vapers got the idea from and a lot of the information to go with it:)

    You won’t have any trouble. Boro rba’s are easy to wick to stop leaks. Juice ports are so small it doesn’t take much wick. Now prebuilt is a different story for me. I loved the flavor from an Aspire coil and KRV adapter. Worked great for a few days and then for whatever reason juice dump everywhere. Same with the Nord coils. I completely stopped using these for this reason. I’ve wanted to get a Mission EUC bridge but that fear stops me. You might spring a leak or 2 at first but it more than likely won’t be your wicking, it’ll be loss of vacuum due to the rba not sitting right, chimney pulled up, or a small pinch in your boro seal. You get that part down and you’re golden.

    Go on...you know you want to...what's one little sweet Dani SBS ? Eh?
    Plus, you can't leave @NolaMel feeling all lonely with her beautiful little Dani. You'd be doing her a favour. It would be a generous, unselfish act for you to hit the buy button.
    :evil:
    EVERYONE neeeeeeeeds a Dani!!

    I’d have one if I hadn’t fell head first into the boro rabbit hole. That beautiful device just speaks to me and someday I’ll probably try to grab one.
    You should. Love my BBs too. But, the Dani is divine

    The Boxx is another pretty safe design because the screen and the buttons aren't directly below the tank. If you had a big leak with the Boxx, the liquid would flow down through the af and out the side.
    What @Truckin Vaper said is true though - there's nothing to worry about!
