Overview
The Voltz Charge Vault LiPo Sack is an essential safety accessory for anyone serious about RC hobby charging in the UK. Whether you're an experienced RC car enthusiast, a drone pilot, or just discovering the world of remote-controlled vehicles, LiPo battery safety during charging is absolutely critical. This medium-sized fireproof bag (22cm x 18cm) is specifically designed to protect your family, home, and valuable equipment from the potentially catastrophic consequences of a LiPo battery fire. LiPo batteries have become the standard power source for modern RC cars, RC buggies, RC trucks, and countless other RC models due to their high power density and performance characteristics, but they require careful handling and supervision during the charging process.
The Voltz Charge Vault represents a practical, affordable investment in safety that every responsible RC enthusiast should consider. This fireproof containment bag is intended to reduce and minimise the chances of damage in the event of a LiPo battery fire, which can be caused by incorrectly charged batteries, poorly functioning LiPos, manufacturing defects, or damage to the battery pack. By using this protective sack during your charging routine, you're creating an additional layer of defence between a potential battery incident and your surroundings. The medium size is perfectly suited for standard RC vehicle batteries and is compact enough to fit on a work bench, in a garage, or even in a dedicated charging station setup.
At RC Model Shop, we understand that LiPo battery safety is not negotiable. We strongly recommend that all customers always practice extreme caution when charging LiPo batteries and, most importantly, never leave a charging battery unattended. The Voltz Charge Vault is not a replacement for safe charging practices—it's a complementary safety measure that provides peace of mind whilst you supervise your battery charging sessions.

- Medium Size (22cm x 18cm) — The generous dimensions of this charging sack will accommodate most standard RC car batteries, RC truck packs, and general RC hobby LiPo batteries, making it suitable for 2S, 3S, 4S, and many larger capacity packs used across the RC community in the UK.
- Added Layer of Protection — Designed specifically for use during the charging process, this fireproof bag creates a protective barrier that contains any flames, smoke, or debris should a battery fail whilst charging, protecting the surrounding area and your valuable RC equipment nearby.
- Easy to Use — Simply place your LiPo battery in the Voltz Charge Vault before connecting it to your charger, and monitor the charging process from a safe distance. The bag remains open during charging to allow airflow and heat dissipation whilst containing any potential fire.
- Affordable Safety Investment — Priced at an accessible level, this fireproof sack is an inexpensive safety accessory that could save thousands of pounds worth of property damage and potential injury, making it one of the best value safety purchases any RC enthusiast can make.
- Compact and Portable — The bag is light, easy to store, and can be transported between locations, making it ideal for RC clubs, workshops, and travelling RC racers who charge batteries at different venues across the UK.

Technical Performance
The Voltz Charge Vault is engineered from fireproof materials specifically selected for their ability to withstand the intense heat generated during a lithium polymer battery thermal event. The medium dimensions of 22cm x 18cm provide adequate internal space for most standard RC vehicle batteries, whether you're charging 2S packs for smaller RC cars, 3S and 4S packs for competition RC buggies and trucks, or larger capacity batteries for high-performance RC models. The construction quality is robust and durable, designed to last through many charging cycles and emergency containment scenarios. The fireproof properties have been engineered to suppress flames and contain the spread of fire, smoke, and hot debris, protecting the immediate charging area. This sack is intended for use during active charging sessions where the user is present and monitoring the battery; it provides a critical safety margin should a battery fail during the charging process. The design allows for adequate ventilation during normal charging whilst still maintaining containment capability in case of emergency. For RC enthusiasts using quality chargers and practising safe charging protocols—including never charging unattended, using balanced chargers, and regularly inspecting batteries for damage—this bag represents the final line of defence against worst-case scenarios.

However, users have confirmed it is also suitable for other lithium-based rechargeable batteries, including mobile phone batteries and similar power sources that pose equivalent fire risks during charging.
