Lipo bag

[deano261]

are the lipo bags really necessary

[adam_u]

I say yes. Anyone else?

[bigred5765]

not only worth it but a brca requirment now

[mark christopher]

i say no, but the BRCA say otherwise , and as its now in General rules EVERY BRCA affiliated club, HAS to abide by the general rules, so if your in or at a BRCA affiliated club, the answer is yes!

They are a very good idea when charging at an indoor race meeting,which is why they are generally required at such events.
Cheap and safe,i would recommend buying one

Like most things safety related, it often takes a near miss etc for us to appreciate the benefit. If I'm honest, I don't use one unless at a brca meet or the club stipulates it as a requirement. That said, if they were better designed, so you could get your batteries in and your charge leads out, without stressing the connectors - I would have no problem using one all the time.

If ya dont want to stress your conectors get a big jiffy bag and neatly cover it with silver carpet tape and youve got a flexible lipo bag,but if you get an explosion my advise is to run
