| | Using LI Po Batteries Safely |
 | | Remember that Li Po cells are a form of Li Ion; they derive their name from the fact that Li Po cells are housed in a plastic (polymer) envelope. |
 | | If, say, a Li Po cell is charged at six to seven volts, well above the nominal 4.2 V limit, the electrolyte can begin to âboilâ and develop voids as temperature rises above about 180 degrees F. If this abuse continues for, say, ½ hour, the electrolyte, being organic, can eventually ignite. |
 | | Methods that are as stress-free as possible that permit one to use Li P cells in a completely safe way are outlined in Ap Note 2 located at www.fmadirect.com Open the home page, click on Support then scroll to Ap Notes to open or download the pdf file for Kokam Li Po battery Systems. |
