For those who use Lipo batteries.....

I lost a friend due to lithium batteries in the cargo hold of an airplane, and the company lost a 747. Remember the issues with the 787's and their batteries? Lithium. It takes a lot of water to cool them down before they stop burning or you just have to let them burn themselves out. Personally, I think I'll stay with AGM, Odyssey replacements rather than lithium batteries.
X2 !!
Totally agree!
I bought a fancy AGM battery for RZR
What a Turd>>> Its only a year old and going belly-up
Best battery so far Die-Hard Lawn-Mower battery 5 years old and going strong
And yep lipo battery seem to light on fire to much for my liking
This is an R/C car incident. Those of us who now own drones are very familiar with the WARNING that is provided when charging up our batteries. I have not yet seen a incident involving lithium batteries in a UTV. I have one, but have yet to install it in my UTV. Maybe I can be a test dummy? :-)
This is why you wouldn't use LiPo batteries in a mobile application....They are just to unstable. I have seen charging/storage bags available and the thought crossed my mind to pick a couple up for my RC stuff.
There are plenty of other options like LiFePO4 (Shorai/Phantom) that are extremely stable. I'm looking at building one for the RV to cut 500lb weight out.
This is what I am putting in mine:
