YOU WILL BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN! - Li-Po Battery Safety Guide | Airsoft GI
![ARGENTINA vs. CHILE [3-0] | RESUMEN | ELIMINATORIAS SUDAMERICANAS | FECHA 7](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/De3AWmXzhuA/mqdefault.jpg)
I almost burnt my house down once. I was using a non smart charger on my 7.4 and it exploded in my room
ngl lipo batteries are just home made bombs at this point
Take an inflated and beaten up one, then charge it with a NIMH charger (assuming the battery has Tamiya connector) and boom, (literally) you have no more home.
I am legally obligated to say this is a joke and you should not do this. Safety first with these things
Wild lol good thing it didn't good lord
“Then BOOM! Then suddenly your house is gone. You’re gone.”
I died 😂😂😂
I didn't know I was buying a damn incendiary grenade. Good thing I watched this before it arrives.
I have an AEG as a back up since I’m a GBBR player, this is something the the employees of my local field told me before buying my first AEG.
Lithium has nothing to do with the volatility of these batteries. Its because they store a ridiculous amount of energy in such a compact package and any short across the internals will cause it all to just dump at once.
Two new batteries: Li-ion and Graphene. Hopefully they get introduced into the industry more and more.
Li-ion is the future and all i use in my airsoft guns. i hope they become the new standard for batteries.
@@SnapRasta Titan and Zion arms have already been putting them in the market these days. They're doing really well, by the look of it, and I already bought some. The only graphene batteries I've seen in the market are the ones from Turnigy, and you need to but the right kind (rated 15 - 25c, or your gun could break). They're at least as efficient as liion batteries, but they're bulkier, so it's pretty hard to find the right stocks for them. So far, I recommend the 800mah 11.1v (15c) they're selling, because it's the smallest one.
The Li-on batteries come in the dart zone omnia pro right?
@@gpareyouwithme I'm not actually sure.
Just got my first airsoft gun and this helped me learn how to properly charge my battery so thank you so much!
As a Gasblowback user, I don't know much about airsoft Lipo batteries. That being said, as an FPV enthusiast, theres absolutely nothing wrong with Parallel charging Multiple Lipos at once when done correctly. Not sure if theres a difference between Airsoft and FPV lipos, but just interesting to hear you say parallel charging is a big no no
homie don't be telling people that parallel charging is safe, it's not lol.
@@spidersugar_fpv Didn't mean to say it was safe, was just saying it's something that can be done/shouldn't be feared if done right.
just like a firearm, you respect it, not fear it. People Parallel charge all the time with no issues.
Same goes for driving, driving can be dangerous as hell, take the right safety precautions and it can be done safely
@AlgerBruh_gbb I get that, however let's be honest it's 100% less safe than just charging 1 at a time. especially with the airsoft hobby where there's many many different batteries that can be used, ALOT of people are not going to understand the dangers of parallel charging lipo batteries. so it's best to just advise the safest option instead.
@@spidersugar_fpv You make a good point about parallel charging different types of batteries. And I'd hope that anyone who is looking into doing parallel charging would do the responsible thing and do research beforehand and understand the risks and dangers that come with it.
Never said Parallel charging is safer than charging one at a time, but I 100% agree with advising the safest option instead. 👍🏽
8:38 gave me crazy anxiety lol
Cisco you failed to mention that with the tynergy charger, the switch needs to be on the setting at the top in order to charge lipo’s which is also crucial so I just wanted to throw that in there
This video alone made me order a Li-Po Pouch pretty much immediately.
Note - keep a lipo at around 3.8 to 3.85 volts or STORAGE (on a lipo charger) when not in use for more than 4 days. Did this frequently and fully charge it when going to use them, works wonders. Keeping a lipo at full for a week can lead to damage to the cells.
A note on 2:33. A constant current constant voltage power supply will not overcharge a lipo. What can happen on the other hand is that it has no balance port for your balance leads (aka those dangling tiny wires). That means if they get to a point where they are out of balance and are charged by what is essentially a power supply the pack voltage may remain the same for a fully charged lipo but one or more cells could be over 4.2v per cell (full voltage per cell for any amount of cells) leading to swelling and potentially a venting of the cell. As a general rule if you check each cell voltage and (from lowest cell to highest cell ) the difference is no more than 30 - 50mv or .3 to .5 volts. Could save you a battery.
I may be just starting airsoft but I have built several 18650 packs with some over 36v. In summary get yourself a decent charger and a lipo checker! These can tell when you might run into trouble and typically show the deviation or difference from the highest cell to the lowest in terms of voltage. I would recommend a cell charger (ISDT has a good one) and a charger that at bare minimum has a storage function.
Sorry for the blurb but I think this memo might make people think more about lipo safety.
Appreciate the content and I understand where your coming from in terms of making content that is easy to digest without making it 40 minutes long. Keep it up!
Thank you fo this video! I'm actually going to get my first airsoft battery gun, and I didn't know that there are a lot of problems with these batteries. Thanks to this video, I will pay more attention!
Thank you
"LiPo bags", won't contain a fire, there are plenty of videos here on youtube showing that.
You'll need a purpose designed storaged box for LiPos to keep them "fire safe", like Batsafe or something similar.
And LiPo batteries can catch fire despite using a dedicated, balanced LiPo smart charger. They can also catch fire just laying in storage. It's not a bad idea to have 2 Batsafe boxes, 1 big for storage and 1 smaller for charging and transporting LiPos to the airsoft field.
Lipo bag and a cheap fire box from big box store. They're often found for $15 on sale.
*me casually playing hacky sac with my giant brick lipo*
me coming from the rc hobby: *_heh_*
In all honesty though, LiPo chargers nowadays are cheap you can get a toolkitrc branded one for under $40 and it can only not just charge LiPo but a plethora of other battery chemistries
I love this guy. He has helped me so much along with Wag Entertainment with guides and tutorials on how to get started with Airsoft ❤
While LiPo safety is very important NEVER 'top off' a battery when it's going to be stored for a anything linger then 24 hours. A Lipo that's fully charged has more Danger of failing then a LiPo that is at 50% charge. In general you want the cell voltage to be between 3.7-3.8 volts per cell. So for a 2s 7.4-7.8 volts is a safe storage voltage and so on for the larger batteries.
I killed so many batteries because I didn't know how to charge or store them. I left a bunch of them plugged in and drained them. After a long break all of a sudden old nihm batteries were replaced. I treated them mostly the same and I wrecked close to a half dozen batteries because I was a moron. Had to spend $100 replacing batteries I bought because I treated them like their older counterparts. Mistakes have not been repeated. No fires for me thankfully. I knew they were volatile but charged and stored them safely but it didn't save me from draining them to zero leaving them plugged in like an idiot.
just go with lithium ion they don't puff up and they perform just as well as lipo, they also don't lose a charge over time.
You guys are AWESOME! Thank you for this. Im just getting back into airsoft and EVERYTHING IS NEW! So its hard for me to know what is “right and wrong” with all this new tech! Again, thanks guys! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Same. After a long break I wrecked a bunch of lipo batteries, probably should have looked up some videos before hand. They are a different beast for sure. I bought lipo batteries for all my guns then promptly drained them to zero like an idiot leading me to need to replace them again. They do fit so much nicer than the old blocks we used to have.
I'm one of those new airsofters, thanks for the education.
I came here to say that I run exclusively gas. Ass, grass or gas my man!!! Gbbr is love, gbbr is life.
I appreciate this video because it is a really important topic. But I also wish airsoft stores would carry and recommend better quality chargers that not only charge but also let you properly charge/discharge for storage after game day. There are other chargers, commond for RC hobby, that let you have a lot more control over the charger for a safer experience and one that lets your batteries last a lot longer as well. I had that same tenergy charger for nearly a decade, but recently bought a more functional charger and it was revolutionary for how I can manage my batteries. It also isn't healthy to store you lipos fully charged which is all that charger can do. Storage should be at 50% charge.
Man I am soooo glad I tuned into these tutorials good lord. Lipo safety is a must
bro how about the new USB charger right now? it seems it has indication taht is full but im not sure if its smart to stop supplying electricity
Just seen this on IG and had to watch the video… 👍🏼
Tossing it scared me lol must have never seen lipos used by fpv drone pilots
I store mine at its plastic container that it came with
I think its ok
Got my smart charger the same time I got the batteries. It also does lipo, lilo and nimh nicd. I don't even know what the last one is 😂
NiCd is nickel-cadmium. Ooooold Sokol battery tech that’s only really used for car (real cars, not RC) batteries now. You’ll probably never use a NiCD now.
Great info, i use lipos for my R.C. cars. Care care care for sure and worth it for the endless fun!
What is the purpose of the second slot of the lipo charger? If its a big NO to charge at the same time the second slot should not be there, or else other people who dont know. Might charge it..
FIREEEEEEE
Don't you have to store the lipos at 3.8v? Not full
Get charger that charges though the main cables and balance cables. It's even better/safer
Personally I stay far away from those batteries, NIMH gang!!
Yooo, love the new setup!!
Love from me and Greece
Thanks for help
Ooh yea let’s have multiple charging ports but only have it safe for one at the time and allow ppl to use more then one, just have one port then, I don’t have a li-po but still how hard can it be
I keep mine in lipo safe bags and inside of ammo cans.....double insurance.
The panic level on this video reminds me of Ms Choksondick talking about if you talk to boys you will get the worst disease of all "pregnancy".
I keep mine in lipo bags, then those are kept in a batbox, which is then put in a larger lipo holdall. I was so worried after watching RUclips videos like this, but yeah I guess it’s better to be over safe than under safe.
This is a GREAT advertisement for some other kind of battery.
Almost lost my apartment this weekend cause of this. The battery turned into a 4ft flame thrower. Just happy I was right there and got it outside fast
Ok i live in Alaska, Lipo batteries cant be shipped here, which kinda sucks (>_
Imax b6 smart charger... its cheap guys and never failed me in over 6 years!
toolkitrc and isdt can cover wider input voltages tho
Thx for the video it really help a lot, I will order 2 bags to put my battery in there 👍🏻
i love mayo so much
U just convinced me to buy a NiMH
The best battery type is Li-ion, its most safe and powerful and can go to 0%
Marcos p has a nice video about a lipo fire in an airsoft rifle
Thanks for the good explaination, this is very useful. you might have saved my life!
I use am IMAX B6 Mini to charge all my batteries to include my NIMh but ,y gel blasters come with the 11.1v lips. The B6 mini balance charges and utilizes both connections for charging instead of just one connection on the battery.
As a Nerf hobbiest, this still helps.
Before this video, I already knew some of the very important information. Though I did learn some new things, speaking of; I guess I gotta get two more lipo safety sacks
Can i whrap the battery in a heatsheild or will it stress it out and apply any type off unneeded pressure?
Me watching this with 10 gel blasters with lipo batteries in them fully charged while using a skrewdriver to prop out a stuck lipo battery in one of my gel blasters. 😮
I just got a Kwa lucy 4 about a month ago from you guys and it’s amazing! If I wanna upgrade the inner barrel what type of barrel should I get?? I’m new at this
You will first need to know the length of your inner barrel in mm so you don't get one to big or small then a 6.03 barrel is a solid tightness smaller than that and it will need to be cleaned more and you may also want to consider getting a heavier metal barrel like steel that will reduce vibrations in the inner barrel. With barrel upgrade you might want to also grab a new hop up if you want to improve your performance further.
thank god i watched this video cuz my lipos are in a bag in my trunk😭
Can I just use double a battery’s 😭
forget lipo's, get Li-ion batteries. the future is now, mayo man
Stoked for the black and gold anniversary mystery box i just ordered!! Crossing fingers!
Let me know what you got. Thanks
I got a JAG Arms licensed Ferfrans CQB rifle.
@@Captainelduke nice, mine comes today also.
I got the ferfrans IAR, stoked! $360 value
Never using those lipod batterys
Is it the same for nunchuck batteries? (Does it work with them)
Lol, have you ever seen FPV drone racing... we use massive Lipos and fling them at fast speeds at the ground. >:p
I appreciate the advice regarding LiPo batteries. Thank you Airsoft Gi and Mayo Gang!
I stored my lipo batteries in a box together with my propane bottles. It took months for me to even realize that was a bad idea.
I use a Tenergy TB6B charger is that safe?
Im going to be parallel charging for the first time. Wish me luck...
dude the new background looks sick 🔥
thx
Omg thank you for this 😆😂
I went to my local airsoft store today and saw a nice m4 powered by a LiPo battery but this video has kinda scared me and idk if I should get the other one that has a NiMh battery even if it has less performance
How much salt do you put a liter for disposal?
Looking for a friendly Discord server related to all things Airsoft
Hey bro, Great video. Can you send me the link for the save lipo baterry cuz i cant find it. thanks
Came here after almost getting blown up from the fire 💀
Actually crazy how the entire first half of the video describes EVERYTHING I DID WRONG
Y e s t e r d a y
I used the wrong kind of charger for what I can only assume where lipo batteries because I only got them as gifts lol
I keep my li-po batteries in fire resistant sleeves along with storing them in a old ammo can. Stay safe everyone!
I am scared guys. Just got a titan hope thats good.
6:48 rip August
Can I store the battery in a metal container? Like a can with a lid?
No it is said when storing lipos to not store them in draws or anything that's near metal or metal objects
I’ll just stick to NiMH batteries for now lol
Co2 and green gas are starting to look more appealing...🙁
Are all Lipo batteries rechargeable? Or do I need one that specifically says “rechargeable” for it to be rechargeable?
lipo batteries are rechargable due to their chemistry, all lipos are rechargable (just be sure its safe to do so with the right equipment and the battery is in good condition)
Blows my mind that you can't just use a nokia battery on an airsoft gun.
Alright thank you im now gonna be 1000 times safer
Im not RoF obsessed and i dont need the milliamps to play a 48 hour op, so is there any other reason for me NOT to stick to NiMH?
Capacity
Why the fuck did i start airsoft
i place my li po battery in some foam to prevent it from getting harmed
You are like joe Biden randomly going into a rage
Say whatever about HPA but at least they wont burn your house down
Don't you use a lipo in your hpa?
@@msmithy7813 how big is a hpa lipo ?
@@ArchAangel21 depends, I have a few types and they are typically small enough to go in the grip. I don't run a stock so grip.
Ar5oN Issa a vibe doe
Bruh
This video is prolly my fault…..
My LiPo went on fire when I plugged it into my airsoft gun, now I'm scared 😅 idk what to do with the battery now because I'm scared it's going to burn my house down during the night 😅
You probably have a short in the gun. I would check all wires and inspect carefully.
@@msmithy7813thanks, i had to open up the gun and take off the battery compartment to put the sling hook on, and it was pinching the wire when I put it back together which I think is what caused it. It's fine now!
You dont know anything about lipo battries
