Why we must use Lipo safety bags
#16
Just a thread to share our experiences from last night, i thought it might be a good reminder for everyone.
At Castle Hill onroad club meet last night we had incident where a high end charger had shorted internally and then proceeded to short out a Lipo,
The lipo bag the competitor was using contained the initial explosion. Had one not be used there would have been some serious injuries to those sitting around it at the time (including me) , the fire that then proceeded was impressive but manageable.
I have seen on this forum of people complaining about using them in some cars as it takes too long to get the battery in and out, but take the time to think about those around you, because it can happen.

Above all as I have always advised customers and friends alike under no circumstance ever leave any type of battery or charger unattended at any time under any circumstance...
