LiPo
Do's and Don'ts
|
Do:
Only use a charger that is specifically designed to charge LiPo batteries.
Using other types of chargers can cause an extreme fire hazard!
|
Do:
LiPos don't develop memory or voltage depression characteristics like Ni-Cds.
Do charge them without the worry of cycling or discharging them.
|
Do:
Store LiPos at least partially charged. LiPos will maintain their
performance levels over time, even during non-use, much better than Ni-Cds
and there's no need to cycle them.
|
Don't:
Use any type of charger that is not specifically designed to charge LiPo
batteries. Using non-LiPo-specific chargers can cause an extreme fire
hazard!
|
Don't:
Fully discharge your LiPo battery pack. Most speed controller have a
voltage cut off that will prevent over-discharging the battery.
Discharging a LiPo beyond it's critical minimum voltage will cause damage
to the battery.
|
Don't:
If you have a crash and the battery is damaged, don't put the battery in
your car or house immediately after a crash. It's possible that a chemical
reaction can take place in the damaged battery that could cause a fire.
Put the battery in a safe place for a least one hour.
