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:
“A lover is never a completely self-reliant person viewing the world through his own eyes, but a hostage to a certain delusion. He becomes a perjurer, all his thoughts and emotions being directed with reference, not to an accurate and just appraisal of the real world but rather to the safety and exaltation of his loved one, and the madness with which he pursues her, transmogrifying his attention, blinds him like a victim.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“Firm, united, let us be,
Rallying round our Liberty;
As a band of brothers joined,
Peace and safety we shall find.”
—Joseph Hopkinson (1770–1842)
