We have a little software to massage too but I should have some assembled shortly. B&C may have some of the legacy design available if your need is urgent. Bob . . .

    Thanks to those who responded! I'm going to carry on with a plug-n-play setup. Does anyone have more of a back story of what took place with this fire? I'm assuming poor voltage regulation or a short? It took place a while back and there hasn't been much discussion on it. http://www.heavenboundaviation.com/documents/AerovoltzbatteryfirePDF.pdf Thanks, Dave Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=436684#436684

    Dave, Thats an interesting LiFePo story, because that chemistry is supposed to be fire safe. Maybe poor voltage regulation, but probably a short inside or outside the battery. Ugly result that could have been a heck of a lot uglier if he hadnt put it on the ground when he did. Blue skies & tailwinds, Bob Borger Europa XS Tri, Rotax 914, Airmaster C/S Prop (75 hrs).

Unfortunately, the carcass will probably not be closely examined. The actual burning may have been limited to plastic in the case but initiated by a catastrophic fault within the battery. Unless the 'event' involves a TC aircraft, personal injury or serious loss of airframe, the NTSB won't have much interest in spending $thousands$ to deduce root cause . . . and AeroVoltz is probably not going to pursue a microscopic examination either. This happened a long time ago. I'll write AeroVoltz to see what they have to contribute to understanding. Given the smaller/lighter characteristics of the LiPo batteries, it's probably not a serious weight hit to consider stainless boxes with fire-resistant linings or some such . . . it may be that some approach similar to the True Blue Power packaging improves the FMEA.

    Subject: Re: lithium facts
    Fire-safer but not fire safe. The older Lithium Cobalt will start to break down--and perhaps enter thermal runaway--at around 160C. These are the ones that gave lithium its bad rep. LiFoPo4 doesn't start to break down until around 300C. That said I don't think these cells entered thermal runaway. I suspect maybe one of the cells developed an internal short and either it got hot or--because they were receiving too much voltage without that one cell in play--the others did. Then the plastic case melted and caught on fire. If the cells were actually on fire it's not likely that him dribbling his water bottle on it would have put the fire out. So my question to AeroVoltz would be what the case is made of and are they using the same plastic now? --Rick On 01/06/2015 12:13 PM, Robert Borger wrote: > <rlborger@mac.com> > > Dave, > > Thats an interesting LiFePo story, because that chemistry is > supposed to be fire safe. > > Maybe poor voltage regulation, but probably a short inside or outside > the battery. > > Ugly result that could have been a heck of a lot uglier if he hadnt > put it on the ground when he did. > > Blue skies & tailwinds, Bob Borger Europa XS Tri, Rotax 914, > Airmaster C/S Prop (75 hrs).
