We began our LiPo battery series in the July issue. Many readers shared their thoughts about the article and video.

Matthew Clark: Great article! Too many people don’t take LiPo safety seriously. Looking forward to the upcoming issues.

TripleThreatRC: If you use an ammo box to store and/or transport your LiPos (which is a great idea), make sure to either remove the seal on the lid or drill a couple of holes in the side or end of the ammo box to allow the expanding gas to escape in a “controlled” manner (in the event of a LiPo burst). Search YouTube and you will find examples of how the ammo box can grenade if it cannot release the considerable pressure that builds up inside. Happy flying!

ProjectAir: I also place my ammo boxes on cement board along with a nearby smoke detector.
