Maybe this is a good time to share these videos - if you haven't seen them they are well worth watching. Look on the left side of the bottom of the main page.

Lipos fires 1,2 & 3

I have become a bit of a lipo safety nazi lately - ever since I had my first lipo fire a couple of months ago.

I have been using lipos since the early days. I'm a smart guy with a background in electronics and all things electrical. I am known as "Electric Larry" at our field. I teach other people how to do electrics and what NOT to do. I'm the go-to guy in our club. In spite of all that - I had a major lipo fire a couple of months ago that destroyed almost all my RC gear and planes and came very close to burning down my house. It was 100% my fault. I was doing too many things at once and had become casual/careless in my care of lipos.  I had gone YEARS with no issues at all and had gotten complacent.

My equipment and charging routines are now 100% improved.

Be careful guys.

Larry
