Default RE: I will never use Lipoly batteries again

OK, one tip for that might be helpful.

I have a Lipo battery that is difficult to reach in my F-84G.

I use the latest Graupner Lipo charger that have a temperature sensor built in like many recent chargers.
I have permanently taped a temperature sensor on the remote battery and have made a charge terminal available from the outside which includes:

The balance plug ( extended )
The temperature sensor plug ( regular servo plug )
The charge line

When I want to charge this battery, I just plug everything and go for a balanced charge with thermal protection.
The safety temperature is set at 40°c.
The battery is packed in a ceramic blanket pocket sealed with aluminium tape.
