How to Store Battery Packs
For NiCad's
A lot of experts recommend discharging each cell to 0.9 volts. For example, a 4.8 volt battery pack should be discharged to 3.6 volts before storing. If the battery pack will not be used for a couple of weeks, it is better to charge them for 1 minute before storing.
For NiMH's
If you plan to store it for a long period, put 30-40% of charge back into the pack. Otherwise, cycle pack once a week with or without racing in order to keep their voltage high
