  Charge to 50% - less strain on battery at this charge (3.7V)

    Depends on how long you plan on ignoring them.

    Gonna use it once a month? Yeah 40-60%s a good range to keep it in. More than a few months? Depending on the idle discharge, but probably want to charge it higher so it doesn’t go flat. 0% charge is a lot worse than 100%, especially for LiPo batteries.

      Depends on the LiPo. I’ve had some go dead or puffy after being at 100% for 3 weeks, others survived 4 months at 95% in the woods (I fly FPV quadcopters)

  Also swap out your PSP batteries regardless because they will almost certainly bloat! Mine ruined my handheld because I didn’t notice it.

  I have so many handheld gaming devices and now tamagotchi with built in lipos. I can see them going bad in the next year or so. Somebody needs to make a multi plug system that you can leave a dozen or so plugged into just to tend the built in batteries.

    Sadly only really works with lead acid and nimh. Lipo rig to keep track of %s, letting them drain enough and only then top them off slowly - way too convoluted.

    I’d make an organizer of sorts and put dated labels on things and just check bi-annually.

      Unfortunately I have probably a grand worth of RC airplane and Quadcopter lipos that are waiting to explode next time I charge them, since I haven’t flown in the last two years. I wish something better would show up that isn’t as delicate. I’m rooting for high density capacitors.

    A multi-plug charging system would be great. It could be a strip of power outlets maybe? Call it “Strip-of-Power” or “power strip” even.

      Heh. I do have a power strip attached to my shelf of handhelds. That isn’t the problem. If I just plug them all in all the time, they will charge to full and stay there. It isn’t great for their battery life. I need something that detects their charge and only stays on long enough to charge them to half full, then shuts off, and I need that for a dozen devices.

  My PSP battery got spicy after multiple years of inactivity. Not sure how to handle long term storage since it was charged when stored.

    Every 6 months to maybe a year. My very original one just lost charging, and I’m yet to try and jump start it using a 9V just to see if it might res, so i got a replacement in the meantime.
