Li-po battery explosion


These batteries can explode when mistreated, Do not over charge or charge at more than the recommended rate. cause they can and will explode. If the core temperature goes higher than recommended they will explode. One of my friends who uses these batteries got third degree burns to his hands stomach and fore head as the result of an explosion. These batteries are used in mobile phones, lap tops, high speed electric boats, power tools and can over heat if they are insulated and the devices core overheats they will explode. Do not leave unattended when charging. Dispose of correctly do not throw in rubbish bins as they can cause fires in a rubbish tip. Do not leave in the sun.
If used correctly they are safe.....
