Description
The LIPO-SAFE AIR-TIGHT METAL BOX is a specific type of fireproof and explosion-proof metal container designed for the safe storage, charging, and transportation of lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries.
Features and purpose
- Safety containment: LiPo batteries, especially those used in hobbies like remote-controlled cars and drones, carry a risk of thermal runaway, which can lead to fires or explosions. The metal box is designed to contain this intense heat, fire, smoke, and pressure within a secure, sealed enclosure.
- Air-tight seal: The "air-tight" feature, often achieved with a fireproof lid seal, helps to starve a potential fire of oxygen and contain the toxic fumes that are released during a LiPo fire. Some models may include a filter or vent for pressure and smoke release.
- Durable construction: It is typically constructed from strong metal, often stainless steel, to withstand the extreme temperatures and pressure generated by a battery fire.
- Charging functionality: Some LIPO-SAFE boxes are designed with a fireproof seal and small access ports or "wire ways" that allow you to charge batteries safely while they are inside the box. This offers an extra layer of protection during a time when batteries are most susceptible to failure.
- Portability: Many models include a handle for easy and safe transport of batteries.
- Prevention: While no container is 100% foolproof, these boxes are considered a significant safety improvement over unprotected storage or charging. They are meant to prevent a small battery incident from escalating into a dangerous house fire.
