LiPO BAT-SAFE

[Badgerman45]

Does anyone use a BAT-SAFE for charging and storing LiPO's? They are expensive ($75 on Amazon) compared to other charging bags. Wondering if they are an overkill or really worth the expense.

I use one and love it. It also tidied up all of my charge leads / balance boards.

When charging, do you just have one battery at a time in the box? When storing, how many do you have in it?

 

[Bjcook88]

When charging I have the batteries that I am charging, when storing I have all of my lipos in it.
2 x 6000 MAH 4S Hard case 2 x 6700 MAH 4S
2 x 3S lipos and one 2S.

Thanks for the info. What cables come with it? I would have Traxxas batteries.

Thats where things get fun. You will need to get a long set of leads and a balance board extension.

The long set of leads at BAT-SAFE website?

you can either make your own leads or buy them.I have always used a battery charge bag or my own bat safes I store my batteries in a old fridge from the 1930.. with a smoke alarm in it with my halon system installed
