The boat was upside down and the batteries were submerged under water, took about ten minutes to stop smoking and it was ALOT of smoke. It was not just shrink wrap burning..... :blink:
Glad I wasn't near that one when it cooked off! By the way, I have your new prop to give to you..............might bring it to Queenstown with Don..............let me know if you are going to be there. Sorry for getting off topic. Okay, when is the video of this going to pop up???
you can always add some extra lipo's :blink: http://www.speedboatjunkies.de/15.html" Thermal event" I like that.
Lithium+H2O=Oh my God!!!" Thermal event" I like that.
28lbs worth of battery :blink:you can always add some extra lipo's :blink: http://www.speedboatjunkies.de/15.html" Thermal event" I like that.
Project of a couple of German boaters. The cat is a 91" cat powered by 132 lipo's.
Looks like a "Herbie" boat. Same one that caught fire at one of our races Maybe.
Pretty sure they ruptured after the blow over.Lithium+H2O=Oh my God!!!" Thermal event" I like that.
Lithium+ too much heat= Gee, I didn't think it would blow the door off that oven!!!
As long as the cells do not rupture or overheat they should be ok.

Water did not cause this. The pack was ruptured.Looks like a "Herbie" boat. Same one that caught fire at one of our races Maybe.

my only question and i am not a lipo fan at all.. is why spend that much on batteries that you chance losing or burning the whole mess down like this one.. and they are not faster correct? im not trying to spoil the party .. just curious. it just seems to be **** expensive and one screwup or problem and this happens..and for 1200.00 i can buy 53 gallon of nitro and run for a couple years or better?Water did not cause this.

An electric, non Lipo, actually has the fastest recorded speed of 140mph. But it is a lot to risk. And it takes a looooooong time to charge the big packs.my only question and i am not a lipo fan at all.. is why spend that much on batteries that you chance losing or burning the whole mess down like this one.. and they are not faster correct? im not trying to spoil the party .. just curious. it just seems to be **** expensive and one screwup or problem and this happens..and for 1200.00 i can buy 53 gallon of nitro and run for a couple years or better?Water did not cause this.
