Safe LiPo Disposal.

Subject: Safe LiPo Disposal. Tue Apr 06, 2010 4:50 pm

I've managed to cook one of my LiPo's which now resembles a 3 cell foil balloon! I've completely discharged the battery, however I am unsure how I can dispose of it safely here in Brunei.

Any suggestions anyone?

Regards,

Steve

Hi Sharky,

I also unsure but in some other countries, the hobby shop will take and dispose it for you.

Actually Brunei also had Chemical Treatment Disposal area but not sure where.

Or you can do it yourself, follow the link below....

Aziz,

Thanks for the info. I followed the link which is similar to others I have read. Some say not to put them in salt water, but I think i'll go ahead with it anyway.

salt water is an electolyte anddischarged the remainig voltage in the lipo to prevent short circuit ang fire hazard . also to neuralised the lipo.
