@MGMDesertTaco let his go uncharged for a year and it was almost dead. I charge once a month and it takes about 15 minutes to top it off.

 

Certainly a testament to the GB40's battery longevity.

@RichochetRabbit

Have you tried these? I think the Milk and Cookies is the best. The seats look better without the covers too.

 

Any worries about charger being left in hot AF vehicle?

 

Cannot say I have ... ice cream is not common in my house. But I will keep that in mind for my next "RomCom/self-pity" night.

 

I left mine in my AZ truck for more than a year and it still charges the same time every plug-in. But I keep mine behind a seat so "direct heating" is not a factor, just "ambient heat".

 

you need some tools

 

Store it in a lipo charging bag if you're worried about.

Nice. Been eyeing it to only put on as is needed instead of running full time. Might go ahead and do the catch can full time as well.

 

maybe someone on TW will invent some turn signal blockers - if we could be so lucky

 

what about e cars?

 

thats prob every night

 

Good point.
Edit: I’m thinking a little more explosion prevention research goes into e-cars than a car charger. But then again???

 

They have battery management systems that keep the batteries “happy”.

 

The suggestion/recommendation from MGMDesertTaco is appreciated, but I really do not keep ice cream around much ... cannot recall when last I did. I see his replacement RC seat covers have not arrived yet.

 

Still does not stop then from erupting into flames that will not stop for a couple of years. Fire departments are receiving special training for e-vehicle fires.

 

Are you sure you don't mean the FUD Dept?

 

Yeah, "Bring marshmallows".

 

Sadly, pretty much the best many can do. Those batteries cannot be doused with most of the methods and people are scrambling just to find useful agents.
