Further the battery has to supply high current <br />in brief spurts. Couple that with physically small batteries and you get heat.<br />Lipo (and its cousins) tend to develop thermal runaway when pressed hard or <br />abused. Further when you charge a battery composed on many cells every effort <br />must be taken to insure all cells charge equally, likely that is where they <br />cheat and one a cell is charged (or discharged) incorrectly the stage is set.<br />It only takes one cell in the pack to overheat and burst the rest will follow.<br /><br />Its not bad technology only it requires the same care any high energy power <br />source demands. <br /><br />Eck!Eck!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13890237094647111653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-29032598296021113922015-12-26T10:37:52.805-05:002015-12-26T10:37:52.805-05:00My Niece got her kid one for Christmas.

They being Trump supporters, I wonder if it the purchase was some kind of political statement from them.<br />whatever kind of stubbornness or foolishness it was, I really hope it doesn't injure their kid or burn their home down.<br />w3skiw3skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993709956954374919noreply@blogger.com
