Voodoo Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 One company I bought LIpo batteries from gave you a complimentary fire proof bag. Fills you with confidence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Danger Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 There is a "C" rating on Lipo batteries that gives you a number at to how fast the battery can discharge. The higher the number the more volatile the battery. When I first started flying RC planes i made this foam plane that would easily top 100mph. The plane was way faster than I could fly and when it got ahead of me I flew it into a chain link fence at which point there was an explosion and a fire. those batteries are like M80s.
