Just wondering How long is it safe to keep a battery at full charge. And does each discharge cycle for storage have an effect .

Discharging from full charge to storage charge will do less damage than leaving the battery at full charge. Minimize your batteries time at extreme states of charge/discharge.

. How many days can I have in full charge? Before flying?

I charge batteries the morning of the contest and have them back to storage charge before the sun goes down. How many days = 1/2.

Are we talking LIpo or LI-Ion. Lipo should go to storage ASAP but I have a set I have been using two years that I let go a couple of days and they are just fine. I charge them to 98%. Li-Ion I keep charged all the time during the flying season. Probably guilty of battery abuse.
