[NSRCA-discussion] Lap top batteries

[Gray E Fowler]

Keith 

Please explain. A laptop is a single unit. What two things could be 
affected?

By the way, do not let your kids listen to that Tenacious D CD.......

Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Lap top batteries






Taking this down a completely different path, there was a study a year or 
so ago linking laptop usage to men who's wife's were having troubles 
conceiving a child. Seems the laptop was warming a couple of things that 
need to stay cool to remain functional.

When you use a pillow you block the cooling air flow. Vola!

I just was reading an article in a local paper and thought I would pass 
along some warnings that are going with lap top Li Ion batteries. It seems 
that with the added micro processor power of lap tops and all of the added 
components, it is stressing the Li Ion batteries which of course causes 
heat and then possibly flame. There have been several occurences of this 
on planes and in the home. It seems when they get hot people are then 
using a pillow to protect there legs and continue to use the computer. The 
next thing is a hissing and then flame. Maybe with this occuring to the 
general public it will encourage manufacturers to build in some safety 
features or a better shell design for the battery. This can only help the 
RC community with safety issues. JEZ
