We continue our LiPo battery series with part three in this month’s issue. Many readers are sharing their feedback and comments.
William L. Elkins: I have been in RC modeling for approximately 35 years and in the last two years I have tried electrics with slow going success, until now! “LiPO Battery Basics” in the July issue of MA was just what I needed. The way this was written made it so clear that I think I finally got it. I’m printing this off and keeping it with me! Thank you!
Charlie K: Most common measurement devices are not very accurate at low voltages. … having a measuring device that over reads slightly is much safer than one that under reads. It’s also of note that many of the four-button chargers do not specify accuracy of the readout.
Merimac: I went shopping for a Class D fire extinguisher to stop LiPo fires—too expensive for me. Sand is much, much cheaper. I now have a bucket of sand ($3) nearby ready to go. I also have a small fire extinguisher nearby to stop any fires caused by the LiPo. Great article!
