How dangerous are LiFe Batteries?
I started using LiFe batteries and I'm very pleased with the higher voltage but...
1. How dangerous are they really? Has anyone had a LiPo-fire-like experience with a LiFe?
2. Can you fly with them? The TSA says, no more then 25grams of Lithium, in any battery can be flown.
100Wh =appx 8g (according to the safetravel page)
So, a battery that's a LiFE 6.6v @1100Mah = 7.26Wh Well within limits.
3. The safe handling instructions say to never let the battery reach 120F... that's a hot car on a hot day.
Love to get this thread going!
You're experiences?

RE: How dangerous are LiFe Batteries?
LIFE ........Is not enough information on the cell type
I use LIFEPO4 made by Black & Decker. They are simply very safe if abused. I have ly overcharged them to being runied. No heat or flames. They simply vent the chemicals out of a built in pressure relief valve. Cell is forever . NO current can be pumped into them again.
