<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I am new in using LiPo. I started with small foamy just to learn
about e-power. I am using the Elite Charger that monitors the battery
temperature. I bought the sensors and I am using when charging the
LiPo. The sensors shots down the charging if the temperature goes over a
set point. My question to the experts: Is the temperature sensor
safe to monitor LiPO charging? I am charging only at the field on my
trailer. I put the batteries over a ceramic title. Now I am using
640 mah batteries but planing to use 2100 mah in my new Brio. After
watching those tapes looks like I need to get something better to place the
batteries. Probably I need to install a fire place in my trailer.
Better ideas?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't think that many guys out there seat down and watch the charging
process. We can get distracted very easy. It is really boring to
keep looking a battery charging. The industry has to come with better
ideas to monitor this process and do something intelligent automatically to
prevent accidents. I think temperature sensors is a good idea.</DIV>

<DIV>I feel much better about being fully invested in 3 - OS 140RX's, pipes
and headers. I'll wait till the battery technology gets a bit safer and
more idiot proof. No doubt the future is E power, just not yet for
me. We've had a few Lipo incidents at the local field while charging,
thankfully no major damage. It seems charging is the critical time, has anyone
heard of or seen a Lipo failure while in use or sitting unused ??</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My equipment and charging routines are now 100%
