Yeah, if you are going to buy new packs, go for Hyperion G3's, they are built with ISO standards that are just not present in packs built by Turnigy, flightpower, etc... Hyperions are well matched, in both capacity and cell iR. Like you said, if you don't use lipo packs or any battery in fact, for an extended period of time, say 8 months, they will internally corrode, loosing capacity and performance. They have to be cycled occasionally, say once a month over winter storage.

It's always better to have your mind on only one pack, you will usually remember state of charge, when you charged last, yada yada rather than trying to remember stuff about 3 packs.
