Battery for my Mod Build

[Raguri]

Exactly the same battery I plan to use to use for competitions! Git! Will be interested to see how you do it though.
I used to use lipos all the time for buggys, truggys, and road cars. Not once did I have one vent etc.
Have seen it though... guys plane went from being very high in the air, to being about 1ft deep in the ground. Nice bit of fire, but hitting the deck at around 100mph probably didn't help the battery!
The phone battery you have in your pocket, is probably a lipo.

Are you smoking crack ??

Nope, he is the God of lipos on this forum. And I personally blame him for me wanting a lipo box mod. Damn you doobedoobedo

Lol.

This comes up in forums all the time. People hear of how RC batteries catch fire, or they watch them being abused until they catch fire on youtube. Then they tell everybody how dangerous they are and how they spontaneously combust if you look at them funny.

One guy said he was so scared of them he kept all his LiPos in a box outside. Except he didn't keep his phone, tablet, mp3 player, any of his Egos or his MVP in the box.

If you read the link with the photo of the burned out buggy everything in my list was in there, except he didn't state the speed, but that's how fast those buggys go. It even states that his setup wasn't right so the back end kept breaking away (he crashed it).

Hobby LiPos in RC models take immense abuse. They're crashed regularly, subjected to charge rates just below combustion point, drained as fast as possible . How do I know this? I have some. I've burned out 100A speed controllers at 8.4V. 10AWG wires can get too hot to touch. I've crashed (lots) and broken things. I still don't know anybody who's been unlucky enough to have a LiPo fire though.

Do you not know how many devices have LiPos in them and don't spontaneously combust?

You can't compare RC Lipo's with a lithium-ion battery that's in your phone.

Probably best not to show you this then

Couldn't vape it though. It was too much.

Motorola razr, Nokia lumia 920, Apple iPhones, my lg g2 which I am typing this out on. All lipos inside.
HTC one m8, Samsung s5, lipo again.

Well... if you ever want a tester. .. all I'd need is a charger as my old one is only for 2s and above... and with my brother xD

Why not? They're both LiPos. Both have the same chemistry.

One is inside a metal case and designed for maximum life at low output the other isn't in a metal case and is designed for maximum life at high output. Under the same conditions they will both act in the same way.

If you puncture either they will catch fire, If you charge either too fast it will catch fire.

Phones use about 1watt of power the lipo's in phones don't have same energy out put as RC lipo. The lipo's used in phones are a lot more stable than RC lipo's.

I notice you fail to mention the ubiquitous Ego? They only go bang when plugged in to the wrong charger, surely there should be thousands of faceless vapers by now?
