Isn't it so that we have been blowing up cells since about the time RC started?
NEVER have any federation stopped it though, before now, when some jerks in the Norwegian federation did it.
No investigation into what actually happened when cells blew up last weekend in Norway. And of course no reaction what so ever before these incidents happened "at home"...
Reading the explanations in this thread regarding these newer cells I think it is obvious that these so called explosions must have come from some kind of abuse. I mean, have anyone ever soldered tabs to cells without ever overheating a cell...
When reading the panic actions and statements that the Nor. federation has published, I think that their next move can not be anything else than to force their clubs to have people overseeing/managing all cell charging that will have to take place in a designated area well separated from pit/racing area. Probably on the clubs owns chargers that have to be exactly the same chargers with a maximum possible charge rate of 1C...
Next step after that will then be that the fed. people can stop working and go home, since there will be no more racers and no more clubs...
