Question? Lipo Bag?

[3dmike]

So I just want to hear from you guys if you all are using Lipo Bags to charge or not? I know first hand why we should be but wanted to hear from you all. I also have a motive for this question.... I own Lipobag.com and have been considering selling a good quality bag or line of bags at an affordable price.


If you are not currently using a Lipo Bag for storage or charging is their a reason why?


What would you want in a Lipo Bag?


What sucks about the current ones out on the market today?


Thanks much guys!

I personally don't use them.

I use a cinder block with a concrete base to charge in :thumbup:

Agreed! I have seen this video before and wonder if the bags I have are beneficial at all.

So, I'd say the market would pay a reasonable price for a bag that is proven and supported by a reputable source to contain an overcharge fire.

Thanks for the input and response suds!

I keep all my batteries in Ammo Cans and charge only at the field.

I will state that I have never personally seen a lipo erupt into flames. Granted I have seen a model up in flames from an apparent shorted lipo, but never actually seen it with my own eyes. All of these demonstration videos are of packs that are intentionally damaged in the worst possible ways just to get them to erupt into flames. I remember reading about how someone pumped a pack full of 110v from their homes power just to get it to ignite.

Would I buy a cheap lipo bag? Hell no, only quality. Do I use them? No, not really, I like using my concrete blocks for charging. Storage would be a good option.

My first design failed miserably! Lol can't go into the details but it was an epic failure! Lol

I don't use them personally. I've ways thought they were more of a gimmick then an actual useful product.

If I was worried about it I would charge and store them in a metal ammo can
Out of the 100s of lipos I've had over the years I haven't had any that worried me.
