Crash battery

[rchelipilot]

Not sure what to do with this battery. Definitely not keep it in a building. Could it ignite again?

Throw it in a bucket of salt water, and leave it there for a few days. Should be dead by then.

 

[rchelipilot]

Thanks Lee. Will do.

 

[Tony]

Agreed. Saltwater.

Amazing that it only burnt a little bit. Did you put it out yourself or did it drop burning on its own. I thought once they catch alight they really go up, not having that happen to me as yet.

When the smoke started, I ran over there to see the sparks / flames shooting out. Got it un-pluged, un-strapped and threw it to the side pretty quick. Then it went out. Wasn't really thinking at that time..........

Is that what they would call a "lipo taco'', or is that referring to something else? sorry to hear about the crash, I hope damage is minimum, and I'm glad that the fire didn't ruin all the electronics.

 

[Tony]

A taco is when you pretty much fold a lipo in half, like a taco shell. I have been close lol.

thanks tony...saw this while back and wasn't sure HeliFreak - View Single Post - Taco

 

[Tony]

Yes! That's a taco hahaha. I guess I could have explained a little better.

 

[idon'tknow!]

That's ok, sorry to hear you almost had one...gulp.

 

[Tony]

eh, makes for some great video lmao.

 

[idon'tknow!]

thats true... but means it's going to be a very $$$ video.

 

[Tony]

There is a saying. You gotta pay to play hahaha.

 

[rchelipilot]

Exactly right Tony. If I couldn't afford a crash now and then........I would be tending to my flowers. lol

 

[Tony]

Ah hell, I kill flowers faster than helicopters hahahahaha.

 

[idon'tknow!]

Ah hell, I kill flowers faster than helicopters hahahahaha.
