Gibbs
Guide
to LiPo
(Lithium
Polymer)
Batteries
The
NEW
Gibbs
Guide
to LiPo
batteries
is a
comprehensive
resource
for
modellers
needing
to know
how
to safely
get
the
best
from
their
LiPo
batteries.
This
extensively
revised
and
enlarged
guide
concentrates
only
on LiPo
batteries.
It contains
a wealth
of guidance
and
essential
information
along
with
many
clearly
drawn
diagrams,
tables
and
charts.
Topics
covered
include
charging,
discharging,
‘C’
limits,
balancing,
safety,
avoiding
fires,
hints
and
tips
and
much
more.
Like
all
Gibbs
Guides,
it’s
written
and
illustrated
in a
clear
and
easy
to understand
way.
No assumed
prior
knowledge
is made.
Each
chapter
builds
on the
material
from
previous
chapters,
but
is also
a clear
explanation
in its
own
right.
By the
end
of the
guide
you
will
have
been
presented
with
a concise
yet
very
thorough
guide
to LiPo
batteries.
This
guide
should
be considered
essential
reading
for
every
user
of LiPo
batteries,
even
if you’ve
used
them
without
problems
until
now
–
because
well
used
LiPo
batteries
that
have
so far
given
no problems
may
be about
to catch
fire
on their
next
charge.
This
guide
will
show
you
how
to identify
such
batteries
and
also
tells
you
what
to do
about
them.
The
guide
will
serve
as an
excellent
introduction
for
newcomers
to LiPo
use
and
will
also
develop
the
knowledge
of modellers
with
considerable
previous
LiPo
experience.
This
guide
will
help
extend
the
life
of your
batteries
and
help
you
avoid
a LiPo
fire,
so investing
in a
copy
really
could
save
you
much
more
than
its
purchase
price.
