[NSRCA-discussion] Lipo storage

[ehaury]

Anything conductive presents the possibility of a short, a sure way to get a lipo excited. While not portable, for in shop charging and/or storage I use a "bunker" that consists of large ceramic floor tile top & bottom with brick "walls". The bricks are attached to the base with velcro (could be glued), the top tiles are held in place by gravity and are  pretty heavy, but can be weighted further if one feels the need. Plenty of "leakage" to exhaust smoke / gasses.

        I have been toying with the idea of lining a large ammo box with ceramic tile. Maybe one day I will get a chance to try it out.

          I do have one of those for some smaller batteries, but talking with a NRA member here at work about getting the larger rifle ammo cans, he believes they are now aluminum.  If that is the case, they won't last long if there was a fire.

          Old military metal ammo boxes work well.

          I was wondering what people are using to store, and charge, Lipos in.  Now that I have all these 5S1P and 6S1P packs, its time upgrade safe storage.
