Are Lipoly batteries really that dangerous?
« on: January 06, 2009, 08:45:04 PM »
Ive been reading up on these recently and have seen some pretty bad horror stories of peoples batteries lighting on fire or ruining the inside of their gun!
Are using these things actually that dangerous or are these encounters with Lipoly batteries not that common?

If you read it on the internet it must be true!

If you do a little searching on the forums you will see a ton of lipo info on here.

I don't know, but I'd rather not have a potential road flare in my gun.  Just for peace of mind.  You can do what you want, I don't see how it could be damaged like that either.

They will kill small children and destroy the planet. Sound familiar...?

Yeah I think Ill stick to the 9.6s untill I buy a fireproof suit. Or Ill just play airsoft at the nearby waterparks. That would probably greatly reduce any fire danger.

Sounds like sensationalist reporting at its worst!

Seriously look at the guys who play here, can you pick out how many of us are using Li-Pos? I'll tell you this much, those who do did not need to invest in nomex flightsuits.

True. But they are much more experienced then I am (Im only 15) and ive never even seen a Lipo in person let alone used one.

But it does seem like any body with a little responsibilty can use one safely. So im still debating on whether or not these things will kill me or my house if I were to buy one.

My Lipo never caught fire.  But it MAY have been responsible for tearing up my SCARS' piston.  Maybe.

That is something you want to look at, 'Mints.  These things turn your gun into a monster, and like a monster, they tend to break/damage things easier.  If you've got a good gearbox, with good internal parts, that is configured properly (lube where you need it, shimmed well, cleaned, etc.), you shouldn't have too much of a problem with having to replace parts (or so I hear).

That's true. You should have seen the ROF. Insane.

Yeah but how the hell does a battery ever get penetrated like that?

Well it takes a hammer and a nail.

I am going to tell you this, stay away from lipo and just run your little 8.4 volt batts in your Big5 gun.  It is obviously way to complicated for you.

But, if a person has an average intelligence only slightly greater than an orangutan then you will be fine and you wont blow yourself/house/pets/or gun up.

the only thing that does not run a lipo is my mp7 and that is only because I just got it.

Its too complicated for me I was just wondering whether or not they were that dangerous to use.
If it really only takes of person with "average itelligence" then why doesnt about 70% of airsofters not use these things?

And to the other guy: Yeah yet another reason Im a little scared to use this battery for. The almost unnecessary ROF tears up the insides of the gun after a while.  But I have a G&P CQBR. Do you think the internals in there are strong enough?
