I'm definitely going to follow this thread. I have always stored my packs at 3.8V/cell just because the charger had a storage feature and I assumed that was the best for the cells. Now I'm not so sure, considering I've yet to see evidence showing 4.2V storage is detrimental to pack "health".

EDIT: After doing a Google search and looking at multiple car/heli/plane forums it seems the consensus is always to store right around 3.8V/cell, yet no one ever gives a reason. It's all people saying that's what they've heard or read without any real facts or data to back it up. I'm going to keep my cells at 3.8V/cell for storage until I see evidence showing it's either (A) unnecessary or (B) there's a better storage voltage.
