ORIGINAL: bem

Hi,

I have 3 of these Robbe LiPo-Tresor boxes now so it feels little more safe to store all LiPo batteries I have in them.
Weight of the box (empty): 8 kg / 17.6 lbs
Inner dimension where the LiPo is placed: 320 x 220 x 75 millimeter / 12.6 x 8.7 x 3 inch.
Link to Robbe homepage about this ''LiPo-Tresor'':

Video that show a 6 cell 5000 mAh LiPo on fire inside this box:

It is little unclear how much LiPo packs You should safely place in one box and the box would still be able to handle a LiPo-fire in the box.
But Robbe said this when I asked them:

Hi,
You can put many batteries there if you have enough place for this. The case is to eliminate open fire - not for smoke or something else....

with best regards

Not crystal clear answer.

I do not think there are any Robbe dealers in US but maybe the CentrySafe Small Capacity Fire-Safes that is available in US can work OK also
for storing LiPo packs:

I would be interested in how this fire safe is different than the one I had. A 1300 mah pack completely destroyed it. That one looks identical to the one I had. The pack burned through the fire safe, then the side of my house.
