Safety
As LiPo cells entail certain risks it is important to ensure safety for everyone who gets in contact with these batteries. Children are especially at risk while playing with toys which include LiPo cells, such as toy helicopters or model cars. Therefore it is recommended that adults familiarize themselves with the safe use of these batteries. In addition, a material safety data sheet for the battery should accompany every product specifying the actual material it contains. In case of overloading, short-circuiting or exploding of the battery resulting in irritation or poisoning, the necessary information can be quickly obtained and suitable steps taken. An example for a material data safety sheet for LiPo cells can be found here. Flameproof pouches can also be used to safeguard against aberrant charging incidents.

Famous quotes containing the word safety:
“Man gives every reason for his conduct save one, every excuse for his crimes save one, every plea for his safety save one; and that one is his cowardice.”

“... what a family is without a steward, a ship without a pilot, a flock without a shepherd, a body without a head, the same, I think, is a kingdom without the health and safety of a good monarch.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“I nightly offer up my prayers to the throne of grace for the health and safety of you all, and that we ought all to rely with confidence on the promises of our dear redeemer, and give him our hearts. This is all he requires and all that we can do, and if we sincerely do this, we are sure of salvation through his atonement.”
