Be careful about discharging them to half capacity for storage - I've just recovered from losing 5 lipos that were stored and found badly puffed when I came back (was gone for 90days). It was the cell on the top that puffed on all them, not sure what thats about.

I'll be storing mine with near full charge from now on.
I've read on a few places, that best to charge them to 50% for long term storage.. but not too many of my cells sit too long.. I try to use them all year round... maybe the balancer that you were using had a brain fart, if it's the same cell?..

I charge mine in a pyrex pot, and put a lid on it... but I have sand and a small fire extinguisher handy just incase something was to happen...
