Storage charge

Just bought some Jeti Li Ion packs from Bernie and some Li Fe packs from Electric Wingman to replace Li Po's in my gliders.
I know that a Li Po has to be stored in a 40% to 50% charged condition.
What are the %ages for Li Fe and Li Ion to ensure a long life?

Thanks

I put a 2 cell LiFe battery in my new Futaba 14SG and I needed to know what to set the safe low voltage warning to. I found a graph showing that the discharge curve, it was very flat and then it dropped off the cliff at around 6 volts, so I set the warning to 6.3 volts. I did see the storage charge voltage but Ive forgotten what it was but hopefully you've found it by now!
