WoW!! amazing pic mike. Ive never seen a cell go off like that before.
ive had a pack go one me once. i had just finished peaking it and placed it in a bag after it had finished then 5 mins later heard some funny noises coming from it, i then opened it up and the cells were sizzling away.(mike was actually pitted right next to me).
im just wondering if it is a bad idea to place the pack in a bag after peaking it.
would this of been why it fryed on me??? i was a pretty old pack

It has happened to me before and almost happened to me last night again.....I was using a feature on the charger that my batteries didn't like. They were bubbling away and extremely hot. I left the room until the batteries cooled off :) I know how dangerous they can be.

LRP Competition chargers can only go down to a 5mv :(

LRP
 
Hi,

I don't think Mv really matters heaps of people use LRP Chargers and if this Mv thing is a real reason as to why cells exsplode then I doubt people like Simon Nicholson....Darrin Campbell ect would use them. :rolleyes:

What do we do put the fire out and possibly get blown? we endedup kicking the cells away and puting out the fire. It was scary! :lol:

We still use the shade tent, with a couple of sunroofs!

So the moral of the story is dont leave charged packs in your tool box! :lol: :lol:

If you want to come and see our sun roof come talk to us

Thats one of the funniest stories I have read.
Go Josh :lol: :lol:

LRP Competition chargers can only go down to a 5mv
i think on lrp chargers the mv cutoff is for the whole pack not per cell.
