| Li &H20Just since we are on the topic of Li-Po's and chargers, I just throught I would toss this out there for everybody to be aware of...
Litium and Water DO NOT get along well in any way shape or form... you mix Li and H20 and you get a BIG BANG! I recently saw somebody charging their Li-Po's in a crate of water bottles....
Consider, you do this, and your pack explodes... a couple of things are guna happen...
1. Your guna have half-molten Li flying through the air burning at 2500*C or so....
2. This burning Li is guna burn STRAIGHT through the water bottle's plastic
3. Water is guna come into direct contact with flaming Li already at 2500 and react even more violently
You basicly risk having a double explosion, once from the Li-Po blowing, and then again from the flaming Li reacting more violently with the watter thats surrounding it!
Just a consideration.... I would sugest using a few clay pots set on top of each other to surround the Li-Po while charging, and would NEVER place it surrounded by water... Li is oxidizing when it burns, it does the same thing when it contacts water, so burning+water=big problem...
Life isn't fair.. Luckly it's a game and cereal! |
