I had heard quite a bit about cells going bang in a big way and though it would be more of a plop until one of our last race meets. A cell blew up on a Novak discharge tray right behind me. It trashed the guys pit table and left me in a cloud of rather bad stink with glowing crap raining down on me...
Very nice! I like!
I have IB's too and can honestly say they are the worst quality cells I have ever used. Finicky to charge, difficult to store, very different power curves pack to pack (noticeable on track)
I really hope something happens quick! Lipo's look nice and seem fairly unproblematic as long as certain precautions are followed. I hope the DMC here in Germany get their act sorted and allow them for this season, although it's isn't looking that likely...
