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.

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.

hashtag
Chargers

We have many different types of chargers.

Technical Information

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.
