Weren’t LiFePO4 the batteries that need to be charged in fireproof bags because they have a tendency to spontaneously combust?
Those were the horror stories I read about back when I had some for my Walkera rc helicopter.
- SECProto 5y agoI think those were LiPo batteries - i.e. lithium polymer. Same kind in a certain infamous phone that was banned from flights. LiFePO4 are lithium iron phosphate.
- AYBABTME 5y agoNope, that's probably LiPo you're thinking of. LiFePO4 doesn't catch fire much.

- timetopay 5y agouncharged battery fluid may be inert, but once you put all of that energy in there, the story changes drastically that said, LiFePO4 is a pretty safe technology at this point
- sudosysgen 5y agoYou're thinking of Li-Po, not LiFePO4.
