What is everybody using to store and charge lipos savely

[The Stig]

I am using used 7.62 mm ammo cases to store and charge lipos. Somebody gave me that as a tip.
If something goes wrong l, close it and throw out.
What are you guys using?

I'm using Lipo bags, for every Lipo a different bag, depending the capacity.

The material used for the bags is the same that I have onboard my crane, when they are grinding or welding in the area of my support legs, to protect the chrome. We call it a fire blanket.

I store them in a .50 Cal ammo box, i charge them in a oven proof dish on my dinner room table always in clear sight, if anything goes wrong I’ve got a fire blanket and fire extinguisher within 3m of where I charge

Remove that rubber gasket ASAP! If a LiPo goes poof in it, it will create a literal bomb. Drill a few holes in the top too.

Good advise. I thought it was lipo proof. But what if i leave the top open??

Was thinking of buying lipo bags 2 but i got the advise that it is best to litteraly see the lipos while charging. If they get thicker, it is best 2 get rid off them

Funny you mention this. I'll hopefully have an update soon but I just bought another ammo can and will be using it for long term storage of my LiPo's and then will be using my existing ammo can as a charging station.

So you don't close the top? so the pressure can get out If a lipo blows.

Remove the rubber gasket and drill a few holes in the top so that pressure doesn't build up.

I bought a used fire safe. Lower drawer is storage, upper storage is for charging and discharging.

Lol Just was checking them out and watched the video. That's pretty cool. I see the XL goes for about $130 (usd) which isn't bad.

Between the batsafe and what @Built4SpeedRC uses I might have to make take the ammo can and put ammo back in it.
