I'm gonna buy it to cook burritos while I'm at work lol....

OK... I don't see the point but hey, I am sure SOMEONE will buy one. Right...

 

[slowngreen]

I'm not real sure what the point of it is either, dont you want your lipos to stay under like 120?

And if I can hook that bad boy in to a cigarette lighter so I can heat a hot pocket while I am driving...it's game on I am getting it!

Well I just saw a show the other day about drag bikes, and they had Killacykel on there. They wrapped the A123 cells in heating blankets between runs, to keep efficiency up.

sorry guys.. food needs to hit 160deg before you can safely eat it.. your gonna have to crank up the juice in order to cook your lunch. now keeping it warm shouldnt be a problem.

Huh? Making electronics hotter makes them LESS efficient. More heat = more resistance...

I believe warm lipo's perform better or charge better. I read it in XRC, but not in detail. Just a part where they were discussing ROAR rules for lipo's. Like whether racers should be allowed to warm them or not.

EDIT:
Just went to the site:
"Warm Li-Po battery packs before during or after charging for a lower internal resistance & higher voltage."

 

[Cupooterluvr]

Well that's news to me. I'll definitely go with that though since I know nothing about lipo's.

 

[olds97_lss]

I thought it was odd as well when I read it in the mag...

Thats not the case for microwaveable burritos and hot pockets lol. I know thats a law though I used to be a cook and we had to keep all food above 160
