HOBBYMATE Lipo Battery Safe Bag Fireproof, Lipo Battery Charging Safe Bag, Lipo Storage Bag, Lipo Battery Trasportation Bag

Finally, a quality safety bag for charging my Li-po and li-on batteries. I understand the volatile nature of the chemistry which is the makeup of these batteries. The volitality is basic knowledge, undervoltage from over-discharging, overvoltage from overcharging and extreme temps from mismatched motors and battery packs. I'm very critical of my equipment when charging these types of batteries and I use well known charging devices and kepmthe firmware updated, no matter how diligent I am the charger being an electronic device failure can happen at any given moment beyond my control so I am never 100% trusting of the charger. However I do enjoy having peace at mind while charging that my batteries are in a fireproof bag should failure arise. Having used several sizes and brands they either did not hold up very long or they were advertised as fireproof but actually more flammable than the batteries that were supposed to be charged within.The Hobbymate bag appeared to be nothing of that sort based on specs so I gave this one a try. The bag is well constructed with Velcro and zippered closures, heavy stitched seams and heavy piped outer edging. The construction is the best I have seen to date and by far the most impressive. I have been charging my 3DR Solo batteries and Gens Ace 4s batteries without failure thankfully but I am at ease knowing that should a reaction occur I would be able to remove the bag and get it outside to extinguish without damage to my home. This goes without saying I hope to never have to test the fire ratings on the bags, I am prepared should it happen though. After using the bag for a month, I have decided to purchase two more to store my batteries in while not in use.One more thing...I took my drone on 2 separate flights with my batteries in this bag and had them charged a t a storage rate. I placed the bag on the belt at the STA security check prior to my flight and explained the contents 3 out of the 4 agents commented on the quality of the bag and 2 stated this should be the safety standard. Please note that yes this was only 2 trips but both were round trip. The one that did not comment didn't need to as he looked it over carefully and smiled and gave me a nod of approval. This was worth the purchase price 10 fold.The pricing is competitive with other inferior products and could fetch a higher price and frankly I would pay it without question. If you use these types of safety products give Hobbymate a shot at your business, hopefully you will be as impressed as me. I don't write too many reviews but if it's worth noting to others to keep them from wading through all of the junk out there, I'm happy to do so.Happy flying!

If you have enough batteries to need a larger bag for storage and transportation, this may be your solution. It appears well made and solid. Access is provided via dual zippers + velcro on front flap which more than adequately secures the content at the cost of being a tiny bit fiddly to open and close. The material is a little thinner than I expected for a bag of this size, but should be more than sufficient. I store my batteries in their original boxes whenever possible and with the bag filled to capacity this way, the weight is easily supported. If filled to the brim with just batteries it would be a bit heavy, but I suspect the bag would support it without problems. Due to its size it seems to be be better suited for storage and transportation than for use during charging, but it can be used In either capacity. I had just run out of room in the 2 medium size Lipo safe bags that I have, and this one is perfect for storing the bulk of my battery stash, thereby freeing up my two midsize ones to take to the field. If you're pretty into the hobby and have lots of batteries, you'll most likely find this to be a very handy addition. I have nothing negative to say about the bag at all. The only thing I can't vouch for at this time is durability, but it appears up to the task it's designed for. If you carry your batteries around "naked" be careful of sharp edges and take precautions to keep anything from shorting the battery leads unless you're really keen to test the bag's ability to suppress and contain fires and explosions.

Truly love this fireproof bag, feels way thicker and is a lot higher quality than i expected. Really durable feeling double layer construction, all the seams and stitching are very sturdy feeling and everything locks up tight. Inside this thing can easily hold over Twenty (20) 4s 1300mah lipo batteries comfortably, also depending on how tightly packed you want it, it could hold another 10+ batteries. The double zippers really close up tight, but still allow you to make as big an opening as you need to fit your cables through. The velcro on this thing is TOUGH STUFF, really really grippy and does a fine job holding together, takes a lot more effort than you would normally have to use to pry them apart. Very fine construction of that alone. Oxygen gets locked out easily with this fireproof bag and put my test flame right out, i can say this thing would definitely help if a lipo fire ever happened. I wish it came in a different color, but im sure it has something to do with heat and the material, i dont have any negatives about this bag at all actually, its high quality, has a low price, and does what its supposed to do. I will continue using and testing this fireproof bag and will update this review if need be, other than that id highly suggest picking one up, just a GREAT product overrall.

Well made and definitely inspires some confidence when storing/transporting my batteries. Before having this I would keep them in a metal toolbox, but I was always worried that if one of my batteries went the box would blow apart and end up causing more damage. We never use our fireplace so that has become my "charging station" recently. After all, it was built to contain fire. I keep this bag and my chargers in the fireplace now and don't worry about anything.It has a zipper that zips from each corner so you can still poke the balance leads out and keep it zipped and it has velcro in the front just in case. The velcro is very good and takes some effort to open. The material of the bag is very thick. I have 3, 3000+ mah batteries and 2 1500 mah batteries in there and there's plenty of room for more.4 stars, only because I haven't had anything happen and don't know how well it will hold up. I'm confident that, with the way its constructed, it will be fine, but I hope I never have to find out.

The bag is my made of good materials and no issues with TSA
