how to maintain your IB4200 cells

Please share your methods to maintain IB4200 cells

As a top-grade racing cell, its super performance is associated with fast Self-discharge feature. It is temperature dependent, and become more serious at hot environment.
If possible, it is recommended to have racing cells stored at 0~20ºC environment.
In any case, because of fast self-discharging, the Open Voltage of the cell may fall below 1.0V each. The racing performance may be affected then.
It is recommended to make periodic checking on Open Voltage of the cells. In case of being down to 1.1~1.0V level, it is recommended to recharge the cell for not more than half of its capacity (~2000mAh) for further storage.
The above information applies to battery matchers, wholesalers, retailers, and end-users in general.
For special interest of matchers & racers, they could consider to run a cycling process, and then the recharging for storage as mentioned above.
It is also important that end-users should not dead-short the batteries, or use drainage device in discharging cells <@0.9V (as Intellect cells perform differently than those of 3300mAh).
