Danger Signs with Batteries and Chargers
Danger
LiPo batteries are dangerous. When mistreated they can cause a major fire. This is a serious concern and we ask you to be careful and take this seriously.
Fire Extinguisher
There is a fire extinguisher in the lab. It is near the main door, on the left as you enter the lab.
Danger signs
When charging, LiPo batteries will become warm. As long as you can put your palm on it and keep it there for 10 seconds you are more or less ok.
If a LiPo battery becomes hot to the touch, immediately unplug it and put it into one of the safety bags.
If a LiPo battery starts emitting smoke or sparks, this is a fire emergency. Luckily we've not experienced this ever.
If a LiPo battery deforms in any way, that is bulges out on one of the sides, that battery is defective and should not be used any more.
Chargers
We have many different types of chargers.
