Description

LiPo 7.4V 1200 mAh 20C Valken Energy Stick Battery Pack

Lithium-Ion-Polymer (LiPo) packs are successors to the known Lithium-Ion (LiIon) packs. The basic advantage of LiPo is undoubtedly the ratio of capacity to size. The packs are of very small size whilst maintaining a very large electric efficiency, which allows for choosing an appropriate pack for practically every AEG replica. They do not feature memory effect.  Can be charged very frequently, without the need to be fully discharged. Frequent charging is beneficial for every type of a battery.

It is crucial to remember not to discharge a LiPo pack to a level of less than 3V per cell and not to overcharge over 4.2V per cell. Another advantage of LiPo packs is a small percentage rate of self-discharge. An unused pack will lose approximately 3-5% of energy per month. It is important to pay attention to an unused pack as there is a risk that as a result of not being used over a prolonged period of time it can be discharged beneath the acceptable minimal value (3V per cell) and inadvertent chemical reactions may occur, which lead to a deterioration of the pack’s properties including a permanent damage and, in extreme cases, fire. An unused LiPo pack should be charged to an average of 70%.

Properly used, a LiPo pack has an exploitation period of on average 500-700 cycles. An important factor is the temperature that LiPo packs can work in. In contrast to other batteries, LiPo cells perform well in low temperatures.  However, they should be charged in room temperature. In order to maintain the good condition of LiPo batteries, it is required to balance them during charging with a service connector, which most LiPo packs have (a good LiPo charger features an inbuilt balancer).

Safety Standards

LiPo batteries offer many advantages for airsoft guns, such as higher discharge rates and improved energy density. However, they require careful handling due to their volatile nature. This guide explains how to use LiPo batteries safely and effectively, including charging, storage, and disposal best practices.

Key Safety Points

Always use a LiPo-specific charger: LiPo batteries have unique charging requirements. Using an improper charger can result in fire or explosion.

Never overcharge: Overcharging can cause irreversible damage to the battery and may lead to fire or explosion. Always monitor the charging process and disconnect the battery once it's fully charged.

Never discharge below the minimum voltage: Over-discharging can permanently damage the battery. Most LiPo batteries have a minimum safe voltage of around 3.0V per cell.

Never puncture or crush the battery: This can cause a short circuit, leading to fire or explosion.

Store batteries in a cool, dry place: Extreme temperatures can damage LiPo batteries and reduce their lifespan.

Never expose batteries to flames or water: This can cause a short circuit or explosion.

Transport batteries safely: Always store LiPo batteries in a fireproof container when transporting them.

Dispose of batteries properly: LiPo batteries contain hazardous materials and should be disposed of at a designated battery recycling center.

Charging

Use a LiPo-specific charger: Using a NiMH or NiCd charger can damage the battery and cause a fire.

Set the correct charge rate: Consult the battery's specifications for the recommended charge rate. Overcharging can damage the battery and reduce its lifespan.

Balance charge your batteries: Balance charging ensures that all cells within the battery are charged to the same voltage. This helps to prolong the life of the battery and prevent damage.

Monitor the charging process: Never leave a LiPo battery unattended while charging. Always monitor the process and disconnect the battery once it's fully charged.

Charge in a safe area: Charge LiPo batteries on a non-flammable surface, away from flammable materials.

Storage

Store batteries at a safe voltage: Store LiPo batteries at a storage voltage of around 3.8V per cell. This helps to prolong the life of the battery and prevent damage.

Store batteries in a cool, dry place: Extreme temperatures can damage LiPo batteries and reduce their lifespan.

Store batteries in a fireproof container: This helps to prevent fires in case of a battery malfunction.

Disposal

Never dispose of LiPo batteries in the trash: LiPo batteries contain hazardous materials and should be disposed of properly.

Recycle LiPo batteries at a designated recycling center: This ensures that the batteries are disposed of safely and responsibly.

Troubleshooting

If a battery becomes swollen or damaged, stop using it immediately and dispose of it properly.

If a battery catches fire, use a fire extinguisher designed for lithium-ion battery fires.

By following these safety guidelines, you can ensure the safe and effective use of LiPo batteries for airsoft. Remember to always consult the battery's specifications and instructions for specific charging and storage recommendations.
