There is one but its only regulated at Roar races.
8.3.2.5.4 Maximum temperature for a charged li-poly battery pack shall be ambient temperature +/- 5 deg..
8.3.2.5.5 The use of heating devices of any type to heat a li-poly battery is strictly prohibited.
8.3.2.5.6 The use of cooling device and or freeze sprays of any type to cool a li-poly battery is strictly prohibited.
8.3.2.5.7 Overcharging/Overheating is defined as but not limited to the following:
- Charging of a li-poly battery with a charge profile other than CC/CV (i.e.
- NiCad/NiMh)
- Charging at a charge rate higher than 1C
- Charged battery voltage exceeding the max charge voltage per 8.3.2.5.2,
- Heating of the li-poly battery beyond the max. charged temp and or the use of cooling devices to cool an overheated battery per 8.3.2.5.4., 8.3.2.5.5. and 8.3.2.5.6.
Overcharging/Overheating will not be tolerated per section 5.13.10
