LIPOSACK

LipoSacks first came about when lithium/polymer safety was becoming a huge issue in late 2002. People were using ammo boxes, small fire safes and such to do their charging but I wanted something more convenient. I found some fiberglass welding cloth and had a bag sewn from it with a hook and loop closure. Fiberglass cloth (Refrasil) is very difficult to work with but we kept changing our methods and finally got a successful working model. I used it at radio control events while charging batteries and it generated quite a bit of interest. We made a quite a few for friends and clubbies…one of which proved out the concept accidentally. In the spring of 2006 I almost literally tripped over the material that we use today. A sample was made with a new design and when a good friend and neighbor Steve Belknap of Diversity Model Aircraft saw it, he insisted that I make them for the masses. Encouraged and supported by Steve, Peter Berg, my buddies Joe Mapes, Tim Gantz, Tim White and many others,..
