How hot is safe to run a lipo?

[AdrianH78]

Hi All,


I'm trying to stay safe with my kit, and sometimes the boost monster takes over....



I notice last night my cells (ultra shorty Absima 3800) were reaching around 45 degrees which felt quite warm to me..


Racing seems to be just this horrible trade off between motor performance and battery & motor temperature for me anyway :-s



I'm happy with the motor temp, but not with the battery temps, but should I worry?



Just as a bit of back ground, I run on carpet, high traction (load).




Thanks in advanced,


Adrian
