Hmmm.... LiPo's are like a relationship.... it has it's up's and down's but once you figure it out...... it's FREAK'in fun!!! LOL
-
Thanks for taking the time to inform RC users of proper Li-Po usage...
-
Informative video! But batteries, no matter what kind, should be recycled or at least be collected seperately, NOT dumped in a landfill.
-
Impressive number of comments in such a short time. That goes to show the amount of interest in this area about LIPO batteries. Good information for everyone to consider. Thank you for your expertise!

For the greatest part, I've found the AMain "tech" videos extremely rudimentary, to the point of being aimed at 'children'. However, this video is not only NOT rudimentary, but it contains EXTREMELY important AND useful information. It would be great if the battery manufacturers would include this info in the packaging, but they don't. So...thank you AMain for a useful, informative, articulate video.

For someone like myself just entering the rc aircraft hobby this video is absolute gold!!
-
sounds like I have another full time job using these things
-
I haven’t used my lipo 6000 mah batteries in 5 years and surprisingly they’re working fine.
-
I like to think Brett talks like this when he's sinking beers with the boys at the weekend :) Great vid!
-
Damn Brett!!!!! My hats off to you, I didnt hear, see or kno that you planted a surveillance cam in my garage!!!! But now since you've posted all my mistakes for the rest of the world to know, I guess I shud start practicing safe-lipo-usage!!! Great vid buddy👍👍

Fairly new to the rc hobby and after watching some horrific lipo videos your segment on the care and use of them is a godsend. Thanks for posting this great advice!!!
-
Things have changed soooooo much since I got into the hobby back in 87. Back then it was all about Sanyo Red or Yellow. That's all you needed to know. If you could afford them you got the reds for stock and yellow for modified. They had different discharge rates. Now i'm like...WTH is going on? I just learned not to store charged Lipos. So I better get out there and drive my newly acquired SC10. Thanks for the awesome video. I learned SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!

Thanks a lot for this. I'm getting back into r/c again and have never used lipos before. Nicad and nimh never needed any special treatment but hearing about lipo fires and puffing had me concerned. This helped a lot. 👍
-
Mmmmm, might need to check some of my batteries that are new but not used and bought some time ago. Thanks for the great video.
-
I’m a newbie to R/C cars and batteries. Didn’t know any of this information, batteries are $50.00 plus. A bit expensive to be buying new ones every few months because I didn’t know the correct charging/ discharging procedures. Great informative video.
-
You've help me out so much thank you for your videos . Currently I'm in a wheelchair n got into the hobby , I love it I even got my daughter's into it
-
This video is actually so helpful and I would never have known any of this and i would end up blowing my self up. Thanks keep up the great content
-
This video would have saved me tons of money if I had watched it 2 years ago. Good stuff!
-
I don't have an RC anything let alone a LiPo battery. But now I am super smart. Thanks!

For me You are some kind of RC God, you really have the best advices, humble owner of Traxxas Summit and Jamara Lipon.
