Lipo Storage

[ArrmAh]

What are you guys using to store your lipos? I know many people are using ammo tins but i'm in Canada and well...those are far and few in between, also quite pricey. Any suggestions?

I've got mine in a lipo safe bag on top of a metal shelf in the garage with no flammables around (above or below)

I have a lipo bag but when winter comes, i'd like to store it something that's more secure for longer times.

Just barely though a 2200mah 2s lipo can easily burn through them.

Luv princess auto.......it’s the zombie apocalypse go to store...
Ps.
make sure to remove the rubber seal or drill some holes in these boxes. If they remain airtight, they will blow.

Cheap grill in the garage, alternative is a metal tool box.

Few 3s lipos, in a lipo bag inside a Harbor Freight metal ammo can. With half its rubber gasket removed ( for ventilation ) no holes drilled. Removing most of the gasket allows air flow and still allows pressure to leave in case of fire or explosion. And my last safety measure is a smoke detector placed about 2-3 ft over it. And a kitchen sized fire extinguisher in the same room

I have thought about leaving two bottles of water in there, my idea was in case of fire it would melt the bottle and maybe help extinguish itself a little (but i think its overkill). The can sits on a small brick off the floor. This inexpensive option, offers me peace of mind, & hope I never see the need for it to be tested.

I would suggest if anyone uses a ammo can or other metal type can. Paint of cover the insides, or store lipos in a bag to reduce chance or having the leads make a contact of something else.

Also theres a very good posting on here, I remember reading not long ago to get more ideas (for example, someone said they store them in there charcoal bbq in a lipo bag)

From youtube videos i have seen. it seems drilling just makes pilot holes for flames to escape & shoot out of.

Water won't do anything to a lipo fire, they can still burn under water, sand should work though.
