The Troutlight is soon to take the UAE by storm, so anticipate lots more orders for the 2nd run as soon as everyone sees them out here 😀
When looking into batteries late last year when looking to upgrade some lights, I investigated li-po cells. Seemed great, good value, light-weight, powerful, but then I read a bit into the dangers 😕
A quick bit of googling, and this thread on an RC modelling forum showed just how dangerous they could be, Youtube has some nice li-po batteries catching fire too 😯
Personally, the last thing I want when crashing my bike, is for large amounts of poisonous gas to fire out of my battery pack, prior to it catching fire 😳
The Ay-up lights use li-po batteries, but inside nice little hard plastic cases, but the soft packs I wouldn't touch with a barge-pole.
Hence why I decided to make some 18650 holders instead.
Interesting that the Fourth4 site says how great the Li-po cells are, but doesn't mention anything about the potential risks 👿
Seem to have gone a bit off topic and ranty, sorry!
Cheers, Rich
