While debugging a strange battery failure in a manufacturing process, [Josh] discovered a new (to us) LiPo battery failure ... When the battery’s voltage is already low, though, it turns ...

They tend to have a very low operating voltage, and due to ... albeit slowly, but LiPo batteries will definitely not be suitable. Other battery chemistries are available, such as Lithium Iron ...

The compact LiPo battery charger introduced here can be used to charge almost all standard 2S LiPo battery packs. The circuit, designed around generally available low-cost components, is very simple, ...

Unlike conventional NiCad (or NiMH) cells that have a voltage of 1.2 volts per cell, LiPo battery cells are rated at 3.7 volts per cell. The benefit here is fewer cells can be used to make up a rich ...

They have a high energy density in relation to their size and weight, with a higher voltage per cell -- typically ... Just do a web search for "LiPo battery fire" and you'll see what can happen.
