Lipro batteries - how do you know if you have one?

[shamrette]

Hi, so on liberty flights they advertise the sale of a lipro safe bag if you buy their batteries.
That's nice of them, but it made me wonder.

This ego spinner Vision eGo Spinner Batteries doesn't have the warning
But this one does: eGo Q & K Batteries

So look at the potential results of an overcharge (ie, batterycalypse, house burnt down), I was wondering if liberty flight either:
- omitted to include the warning on the first battery
- the first battery is not lipro but li-ion
- this battery bag thing is a scary marketing thing to sell more bags

Opinions?

a little of all of the above, it does say recommended for all our batteries.
while bad things can happen they usually dont, best case is not to charge when unattended or lay the battery on anything flammable when charging - like your bed. many people lay them in the sink, use coffee cans and some even use the bag. personally i always charge batteries where i can see them and on a hard surface clear of any junk and always take them off the charger as soon as i spot they are done.
while the bag is worthwhile it is a double edge sword i believe, it will keep the mess contained but it will also hold in the heat when charging.

Single cell batteries aren't the issue... I dealt with liPo batts when heavily into R/C and its when multiple cells become unbalanced or a cell is over discharged that issues can arise (hence why eGo batteries shut down when they are "dead". Crazy ..... can always happen... But the likely hood is quite low
