Cassie explains Lipo batteries & safety!

This is a quick video to explain about Lipo batteries.

Lipo batteries are great batteries! They provide lots of power, long runtimes, and they charge fast!

They do have a downside though; they are more susceptible to fire! To reduce your risk of fire/injury make sure to use a high quality balance charger, and always check your batteries before and after charging! Never leave your batteries charging unattended!

Just be careful with your Lipo's and you'll be fine!

How do I dispose of a Lipo battery which is bubbling

[earthling1984]

@weera19301 I think each city has it's own way of disposing of batteries, perhaps call ur city and ask. i actually need to find out the same thing myself. I have a large lipo bag filled with dead and puffed batteries I need to get rid of.

Oh and also I just leave it charging in the kitchen overnight will that be long enough to charge it fully? My nicad charger is set at 4.0a? if that helps

[earthling1984]

@daveconno of course you *cannot* charge lipos with a nicad charger, and overnight is way too long, it would explode in just a couple hours at 4a charge rate, especially with wrong charger type. You need a high quality balance lipo charger for charging lipos.

[daveconno]

Is it correct that if you are camping and you cant get a fire started then you can bite a lipo in half with your teeth and this will start a nice camp fire? Would this be dangerous.

Also I bought a new lipo and charged it with my sanyo nicad charger and it got really big. Does that mean its fully charged? My charger is very old and doesnt have a display so i dont know when its fully charged. Do they go small again when you use all the power?

[earthling1984]

@daveconno you obviously are just being a 'troll'. Or you are extremely stupid... but you cannot charger a lipo with a niacd charger... I'm sure you already know this.

@weera19301 you can take them to most any scrap yard that buys metal and batteries.it was pretty high but it went down after the holidays.you get 20cent a pound or if not much weight just give it to them and tell them what they are.they will be recycled properly

[earthling1984]

@badboyazza2009 I've had good luck with turnigy batteries so far.

@daveconno do NEVER charge lipo overnight, to charge lipo you need to like sit next to it and check it, or go to another room but set a timer so you can hear when the charge is done. Get a high quality balance charger and make sure you type in the right settings your battery!
