Lipo Fire
We've all heard...lipo fires ARE real.
3S 2200 mah pack, I dont know what happened, perhaps charged a 1c max pack at 2c like the rest of my packs... my house burned down tonight because of it. http://ozarksfirst.com/content/video/?cid=239142 Entire house gone...i have no more helis, clothes, planes, nothing...

The ferret died.
We don't know where they got that information. I can't believe I burned my house down and nearly killed my family over not monitoring a lipo charge...please take this into consideration.

I'm living proof for the safety minded...otherwise you live everything..and pets and possibly people die...at least we got the dogs out, cat out, us out, and most importantly our daughter out...who still doesn't understand where her toys went.

Well the most important things were saved, you and your family. The other things can be replaced.

sorry for your loss. Glad you and the family is safe. very sobering indeed. I never charge my lipos unattended and this backs that up. perhaps you can start a fund raiser or something. I'm not rich or anything but would like to donate something.

Sorry to hear about your loss. That is just terrible. I always monitor my batts while charging. Your loss has made me decide on safety first, as i will find or make a charging vault-or at least a lipo-sack.
Glad you are all safe.

Dr.D..
Check with your local Fire Department and see if they have a "after the fire" program. The department I work for does and it helps victims far beyond what the red cross does. While all this sux, it is all replaceable glad to know that you guys made it out safe.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss!
What brand of battery and charger did you use? Perhaps we can learn something from this. |

Man that's horrible. Will redouble my efforts as well. Glad your family is safe. Let us know what kind of things you could use. What were the favorite toys lost by your girl. Would like to help. Don't be afraid to let folks know what you lost and what you need.
