How safe hoverboard?
Apart from the natural balancing concerns and fall, there are much more serious concerns. Namely: "How do I know that the product will not explode, melt, or catch fire when they are charging"
In fact, there have been several incidents in recent times, tied the pricing mechanism in these hoverboard. To understand why, it helps to have some knowledge of the underlying product.
There are more than 20 factories in China that make these things. Some are reliable, and some are not. When you order off of eBay, Amazon, or Alibaba, it is likely to buy from a dealer who imports them. Perhaps they buy a quality product, or maybe they buy from the lowest bidder to get more profit on the turnaround. In other words, it is a gamble. When someone buys a new product from Amazon, the last thing on their mind is burning the kitchen down, but it's worth considering. In fact, it happened to at least two people in the UK over the last six months. So, the first step is to buy from a reliable source that does not make use of low cost on internal electronics, in particular the batteries and the charging mechanism.
"This is not your batteries Momma "
Hoverboards they are powered by the new generation of rechargeable batteries Li-Po "" Lithium-Polimer, or.
For those new to Li-Po batteries, are different from the previous battery technologies as it maintains a charge almost full right until they are almost completely exhausted, and then they are empty almost immediately. They produce a lot of power, and are prone to thermal runaway (fusion), when excessively depleted, so besides buying a quality product, we have a couple of words of caution we would like to share with you.
First, because of this steep drop-off in power when the battery is running low, it is important to stop riding the edge when you start the battery alarm. Although it is possible to continue driving because of the constant voltage, by doing so it may reduce the long-lasting battery life. If you continue to drain the battery just for a minute or two more, you can actually force it to a point from which it can not recover, and will no longer accept a charge at all. In this case, the battery is subject to become very hot and possibly damage other internal components. So, the moral of the story is: stop driving when the battery alarm (continuous beep) is started.
Second, unlike other types of batteries, it is not advisable to store a Li-Po battery with a full charge, so as to reduce the long-term battery life. The good news is that our engineers have already thought of this, and our chargers use a / simple clear-charging light red-green system. When the charger turns green, the battery is optimally charged for security, battery life, and a battery life sufficient. The word of caution here is that you should unplug the charger when it turns green so you do not continue to charge your table. In this way could, yes, you read right, reducing the battery life. There is a circuit in place to avoid this, but it is always a good practice to unplug a Li-Po battery when it is not being charged, in the case that the circuit fails. Use protection as a backup, not as your business continuity plan.
So it's easy: Buy from a dealer who knows the importance of electronics solids, and set a 3-hour timer. Unplug the charger when the timer goes off or the light turns green.
These are two simple steps you can take to ensure the longevity of your new hoverboard and keep your family safe in the process!
