Default RE: Safest way to store LIPOs?

Wavekatcher,

I see you are in CA. So, You probably don't have issues with freezing temps. Here are a couple ideas that have been kicking around the forums in regards to Lipo storage.

1. If at all possible keep them outside. No matter what container you have them in it will still allow the gas, smoke and fumes to be released into the air if they go bad. Your house will not be the same afterwards.

2. If you have a fireplace (I know your in CA, so not sure you would have one), and it has glass doors, it would be a good spot if you want to keep them inside. If you leave the fireplace damper open the smoke and gases would more than likely go up the chimney, and the fireplace would contain the flames.

2. Some guys are keeping their batts in a barbecue grill outside, as long as freezing temps are not an issue.This seems to me to be the best option.

Anyway good luck.

Tom
