LITHIUM BATTERY SAFETY
Everyone is aware of the potential fire hazard that exists with the use of Lithium
batteries. Whether it is carelessness or a freak unplanned event, we all have to
be prepared to act in the case of a battery failure. The Keystone Indoor Electric
Fly catastrophic. Six clearly marked pails of sand are located between the flight line and the pit area. Please familiarize yourself with the locations of these pails. In the even of a battery failure of ANY KIND, use this sand to smother the battery or bury the battery in the sand until all is well. Sand is cheap and easily cleaned up, so dont be afraid to use it! With the estimated large crowd, we do not want anyone attempting to run outdoors with a malfunctioning battery. There are ABC type fire extinguishers in the dome, but they WILL NOT extinguish a lithium battery fire. A class D Fire extinguisher is located at the transmitter impound and will be available in case of an emergency. All lithium batteries must be charged in a FIREPROOF CONTAINER. Be sure to double check the voltages and cell count selections of your charger. If you have questions, please contact any member of the event staff. Our goal is to make this event safe and enjoyable for all. Lets all exercise due diligence and have a fun safe event. Enjoy the dome!
