Seems like there are lots of guys busting into lipo, or thinking about it.

Post links to threads that answer some of the noob questions here. I'll keep it on page one or two for awhile.


Start with this thread, which is already sticky at the top of the battery page. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=9170


Then go to this thread, and use the link to this really really good paper on the lipo experience, and lots of the gadgets that are usefull.

Do you have enough pull with the admins to make this into a sticky? I'd hate for it to one day fall completely off the charts. Even though I'm low-tech now with SLAs and all, there's always bike #2 and #3 and #4 (at least wife and 2 kids, anyway, then we can go back to the beginning of the list - me! :mrgreen: )

^--- what he said.
Searching endless sphere can be a nightmare. We need more sticky threads here. Lest we answer LiPo questions every day.
And preferably, ones written for the layman and not the electrical engineer.
 
If your LiPo pack is discharged too deeply or overcharged (of course by accident!) one or more of the cells will generate gas inside one or more pouches. Don't throw them away. With the proper safety precautions, the gas can be removed, or, other pouches can be swapped in to replace the bad one.

A little bit OT, but for searching ES just use google instead of the built in search here. Go to google, and type in "Searchterm site:endless-sphere.com". That will only show results from ES, for the word "searchterm". You get the point, epic way of searching the internet.

Peace!
