Does anyone have photos of bat safe boxes WITH lipos inside?

[kratonwatch]

Hi everyone

Apologies if this is in the wrong spot, so mods move if necessary.

I’m heavily considering bat safe boxes to store lipos in, but cannot find pictures of the box storing multiple batteries. Does someone have or can provide before I decide to purchase?

I currently store 2-6s lipos in multiple battery bags, but I’ve never had a lot of faith in them and these look solid and I can use when the batteries are charging.

Also, making or buying long wires to route inside seems like a major chore. Thoughts? Advice? Links? All appreciated.

Thanks!

Go to Harbour freight and buy yourself a few of the steel Ammo cans. They're western proof and solid. They have a rubber seal to able them water tight and they're a lot stronger than the lipo velcro bags.

I don’t use the opening in the Batsafe. I bought extra long charging and balancing cables. The lid has flexible rubber around the edges that allow the Batsafe to be closed when charging.
You want the large/normal Batsafe, not the Mini version.

You'll get more bang for your buck with ammo cans.
Just cut a section of the rubber seal in the lid to allow for venting.
You do Not want to completely seal the can with Lipos inside!

I can store several 6S Lipos in one can.

50 CALIBER ammo can the way to go! Make sure you cut at least 1 inch out of the rubber seal so nothing goes BOOM!

Here ya go.

I don't use them for charging, just storing as a precaution measure (even though they are safest at storage charge). There's a certain limit you can store per box (I believe up to 10k mAh per the lg box-but this is also for any box-ammo cans, etc) and I'm def over the limit, but I take care of my batts and check their specs regularly. I use the mini for traveling at times.

You’re right to question those lipo bags. They hardly provide any benefit.

I have three medium bat safes for charging. Two sets of cables running into each safe so I can charge six batteries simultaneously.

Steel ammo cans for storage.

@Smilinbri provided some good pics so I won’t. But let me know if you need to see a specific size battery in it.

I charge with a Bat-Safe and store/transport with an ammo can and single lipo bags on each battery. The lipo bags arent enough alone, but will reduce the odds of one battery setting off the other batteries in the ammo can.

I only charge batteries in a Bat-Safe: I store my batteries in ammo cans with most of the lid gasket removed so any build-up of pressure from any possible leaking gas will be automatically released. I only leave enough gasket in the ammo cans to allow the lid locking mechanism to remain functional.

I use 2 medium and 1 small batt safes for storage and travel. I also store them inside a metal file cabinet for a little extra peace of mind.

Actually got rid of the granules again. Dusty and probably not the best to breath in. I also torched those lithium fire granules to see what happens. By the time they melt I think the lipo has finished burning.

With ammo boxes, how much of the seal is enough to cut off? Seems like some take most where others take some.

I cut off the seal on the side closet to the hinge..
so IF the Lipos ever vent Hot gases.. it won't be coming towards me while I try to shut the lid or lock it down..

I'm thinking of doing something with one of these and venting it to the outside of my garage.

In ammo box, I remove the seal. Don't need a bomb in my house.
