as my collection of devices grows, so does my collection of batteries, and the length of time it takes to cycle them out and recharge them (compared to only having one mod and two sets of batteries alternating daily). i remember reading in a battery faq that you are supposed to store your batteries at a certain voltage (cant recall the exact number, but it definitely wasnt 100% charged)...
so im wondering what length of time is considered 'storage' compared to 'waiting to be used', what the exact storage voltage is, if that differs depending on the battery (all 18650s), and whats the best way to get them to proper storage voltage. i have a nitecore charger but i dont think it has a discharge feature...thanks for any help.
also, bonus question: how long will well cared for 18650s last me? im scared that i wont be able to replace some of these in a few years (i have a bunch of vtc4s for example).
