My first Lipo incident.

[Supermario]

Yes, thanks Ralph for sharing. I didn't mean to cause more lipo fear with my post. I too was scared of them at first but that's natural. We fear what we don't understand. Now that I have the right tools to monitor and charge them I'm much more comfortable with them. And learning a discharge only ruins the battery is nice to know. It was a 15$ battery and I like the target practice idea

The smaller size and packing a good punch is a real benefit when space is tight. My dump truck relies on a lipo. My loader, dozer , excavator, dump trailer. Without lipo, the whole fleet comes to a grinding halt.

Anyway, my 3 golden rules. Don't drop and keep secure, don't overcharge or overload, never leave the room when charging.....

Funny, those rules apply to pretty much all batteries.
