Storage mode is the mode in which you store your lipo , i have the same charger . Use  that mode when you need to store your lipo for long periods of time . Storage voltage can be anywhere from 11.3 V - 11.5 v .

When ever you get home after flying its a good practice to hook your lipo in storage mode , if you are not going to use them for months store them in a cool and a dark place , i store mine in the fridge .
