"..And another one bites the dust!"

honestly, it makes me afraid to stay near the batter now when its charging..
i've seen so many of these post, and most of them tends to blame the person changing these batts.. but really?? if one charges it at normal rate, and takes care of it like a average racer, will it ever explode like this?

I'm definitely buying EP's now...

send them in to trinity! lol

You are not safe even with EP's. Saw an EP blow up on Friday at the club race. Reportedly charged at 6 amps.

:batman::batman: maybe Lipo will more safety?

Kokam/Orion Carbon 3200/3600!:nod:

what is the caused of this explotion?

My theory.......
As we saw the picture, the weather was cold.
While charging, near the peak, inner battery was hot.
The battery surface was still cool.
The thermo sensor of the charger attached on the battery surface and of course detect only the surface temperature.
The battery overcharged, then it happened the explotion.
Maybe.....???

i dont know man,but those guys in the picture seems very happy.may be the sound of exploding nimh is cool.i never seen 1 myself

i think the guy said how lucky he was...it hit the stand not his face...

And the guy behind him is taking self-protection while charging to a new level and wearing a helmet.... no chances!!!!

:spidey: still dont know the exactally reason. someone said is over charging:flaming: someone said is short cut by a small part from the car
