Re: Lithium Polymer cells. Whats the big deal?

back to your original question

"battery temp getting above 70 degrees.. "

this is what i got in my thunder power instructions

"Charge: 32 to 113 degrees F
Discharge: 32 to 140 degrees F"

lipo's just need respect
1 dont leave them in the window of the car on a hot day if they get over 170*F they will explode
2 make sure the C rating of your battery is higher than your motor draws in amps.
3 Always be sure you use good charger and that you always charge at the right cell count. if you charge a 2 cell pack on 3 cell rate it will explode. a good charger will stop charging before it blows.
4 Never short a fully charged pack.
5 Hard crash let pack set 15 minutes outside
