Mike,
I do not know if I would use the term HOT with LiPo batteries. You have some serious sales going on!

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

LOL. Yes, 'hot' is not the word I would use to describe that batteries chemistry. 30 lashes for Mr. Caswells ad-writer!

Speaking of hot lypos, I left one on the charger The other day. Big mistake, it puffed up like a ballon, didn't explode...yet. Is that normal? I mean the not exploding part.

Hi Von,

If they are overcharged they can puff
When you leave them fully charged they can puff
When you drawn to low they can puff

Get a good charger
Balance them every time you charge them
Charge them with a charge current NOT more than 1C
When you not using them charge them at 50% C (If you have a good charger there is a program for that)
They don’t like storage at 100% charged, they will get damaged.
Only when you’re going to use it charge it to 100%
Good chargers will turn off when the LIPO is fully charged.

I follow this and I never had any trouble with LIPO’s and I have them for years now.

Grtz,
Bart

I agree 100% with Bart's post above, but would like to draw some additional attention to one point because I think its importance is often overlooked:

When you not using them charge them at 50% C (If you have a good charger there is a program for that)
They don’t like storage at 100% charged, they will get damaged.

I've also been using LiPos for many years, and for the first few seasons I always stored them fully charged. (Unlike NiCd/NiMhs, LiPos have low self-discharge so you may as well store them full, right? Wrong!) Switching to storing batts at 3.8V/cell (~50% of full capacity) between runs and over the winter has made a huge difference for me in terms of useable battery life. If your charger doesn't have a "storage charge" programme option, I highly recommend getting a dischager/balancer that will do it. Your batteries will thank you!
