Havoc340 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Ok, Not specific to the dna200, but I am curious if there is some breathing room required for Lipo batteries to expand. My design has .050 clearance and im not sure if thats enough, or if its even an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTMRider Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Lipo's can swell 5 - 15%. Cheaper quality batteries will swell more than higher quality cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 But they only swell if given the space to, and they only swell across their thickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc340 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yeah, The thickness is my concern. So if they only swell to their environment, is it a big deal to constrict them and not give them any room to grow? These are the things that I cant google well. (end up getting tons of Liposuction results lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always_Jonezen Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I my experience they only swell when they get hot like in rc cars where you draining all it's power in 30mins, in my sealed dna box the Lipo doesn't even get warm. So I'm not worried at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc340 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks. I just don't want to be making an unsafe situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
