Aerox Bat-Safe box

Aerox, the accessories brand from Schumacher, has released this Bat-Safe for the charging & storage of LiPo batteries.  LiPos can be dangerous and the Bat-Safe provides the safest experience whether it will be storing, transporting or most importantly charging.  Highly recommending all LiPo batteries should be charged and stored in a Bat-Safe box and not a LiPo bag, Schumacher Racing are no longer selling LiPo Bags as they don’t believe they offer adequate LiPo fire protection.  The Aerox Bat-Safe is a double-walled insulated steel box with a flame arrestor.  Any battery within the specifications will not be a fire hazard if charged or stored inside it and in case of a fire, the smoke and soot is also filtered by the flame arrestor.
