Tips for LiPo Battery Care

If you are using LiPo batteries there are a few things you need to be aware of. What happens if you ignore these simple rules? Well check out this youtube clip:

So unless you want your own personal chemical fire factory burning inside your RC car, make sure you always follow these simple rules:

• Make sure you have a LiPo cut-out in your car. Most good brushless ESCs have these built in. Set the cutout for 3 volts per cell (i.e. 6 volts for a 2 cell 7.4V battery)
• Make sure you have a charger with automatic cutout
• Never put a battery on charge if it is warm. Let it cool to room temperature before charging
• Never put a freshly charged warm battery into your car. Always let it cool to room temperature before using
• Always charge your LiPo battery in a fire proof surrounding (i.e. a fire proof blanket, ceramic bowl, etc)
