I've yet to have a failure either. My interest was in whether the bags really do the job they are supposed to do.

But I always use the recommended chargers and charging formats. I always charge them in the fire bag and never indoors or unattended. Like anything else that's dangerous, they demand respect. 73 Terry W0FM -----Original Message----- From: Ron D'Eau Claire [mailto:r...@cobi.biz] Sent: Friday, May 19, 2017 12:42 PM To: 'Terry Schieler'; 'Bill W4ZV'; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Fire in the house li-ion Have you ever had a battery failure and fire in one of them? The ones I've seen on line that state they are tested under actual failure conditions are more than $500 USD. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Terry Schieler Sent: Friday, May 19, 2017 9:30 AM To: 'Bill W4ZV'; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Fire in the house li-ion I have been using charging bags similar to these for over 6 years to charge LiPO batteries for my fleet of RC airplanes. Very prevalent and highly recommended within the RC hobby field. Not necessarily this specific brand, but I've never had an issue. 73, Terry, W0FM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
