Changes to Lipo Shipping?

Post by Dirtdiver »

I saw this news release today and would not be surprised if the price of Lipo batteries go up due to changes in shipping.

I was surprised when I got my LiPo from Tower after reading all the warnings about them. It was shipped in a cardboard box, and was placed in a bag with bubble packing. It was defiantly not fire proof.
