Danger Signs with Batteries and Chargers
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.
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.
We have many different types of chargers.
