And if a meteor falls from space and happens to cut the wires they'll arc then as well.
I'm still gonna say the chances of the battery going up are very slim. |

For quick disconnect power links please look at "bullet connectors", local hobby store or hobbyking.com the connectors can be pulled apart fast if required. I use a CTR stock, with a custom battery bag for my big nimh packs I out in an additional section to warm them via heating pads, however my heat pads do not touch the battery directly. This is my go to setup.
Currently messing around with an idea that could solve all the problems pointed out here, just think; Battery mounted on vest, ejectable, no wires to the gun (not in the traditional sense anyway).

well guys, last night i gathered all connectors that i would have considered. i made a quick setup which involved in this order
(fish scale)---[connector]-----------/ /--|original bat connector|--[battery] i used the following for my test -blade style (think motor tabs) -deans -bullet -standard -magnetic my test comprised of taking a fish scale and connecting the end of the setup to it. i then dropped the battery and measured the total force (mass/gravity) before disconnection. immediately i disregarded the original style connectors.. they dont work for quick disconnect. the order i found in force needing to disconnect is as follows (more force on top) -standard -deans -bullet -blades -magnetic i was able to determine that the magnetic connectors put virtually no stress on anything, yet stay connected. i have further tests to run, and there's research to be done (wink) and will update today when i get out of school. now.. if you excuse me, i have a date with a milling machine. |

hey guys, wow am i glad i listened! my battery ignited! ha ha *nervous* my p90 started smoking and u dumped the battery just in time. i guess the wasaga humidity must have killed the connector. just a huge thanks to all who said it was a bad idea. if i had not listened to you, i would have been in a burn ward...

What I have done before is put a small battery pouch on a cheap sling and ran the wire along the sling and into the battery bay. Doesn't really help with warmth but it did help me use a battery that otherwise wouldn't have fit. (in a pinch)

@thunder cactus
i didnt run the extension cable. my point was, that if i did, i would have been on fire. it was a mini. @5kull thanks man @Mitchell12 yah, i strap the battery to the stock. all in all, there is minor damage to the internal plastic piece that holds the gearbox in place. easy fix. have spare one. |

Let this be an example and lesson to anyone else who thinks it's safe to wear a battery inside their clothing just to keep it warm.

How the hell did you manage to ignite your battery? seriously? You did some pretty horrendous wiring if you managed to actually achieve combustion. I didn't see that post before I posted. Like it honestly isn't that dangerous if you do it proper and you shagged it up... Good job you really make me realize that all those health and safety stickers are put on things just for you. (facepalm extreme)

i didnt do it, no mod was done, i listened to you guys! the battery was in my p90! it was the connector or the battery. im switching all to deans. there was no extension cable, no wiring job, no nothing. all was stock. im thinking the battery just was no good.
NO MODIFICATIONS WERE DONE!!! |

How cold was it?
We play in -5 all the way down to -10, and for the last 5 years I've never heard of a battery combusting from being used in cold weather... |
