I would appreciate getting our technical advice for the following options:

Charging the battery INSIDE the dedicated case?  
Charge the OUTDOOR battery in a safety LiPo bag and reconnect the battery in the cabinet?  
A security disk is integrated into the dedicated battery case.  
What is the best and safest option? Do you have any protocol for battery charges?  
Thanks for your help,  
Greetings,  
Manuel.

Hi @manuel.alarcon,

Which battery are you referring to? Is this our 18 Ah battery being used with the BlueROV2? I’m not sure I understand what you mean by the “dedicated case” and the “security disk”, can you please clarify?

hi adams  
If I used a 18ah battery, what do I mean  
first

\_what loading protocol do you have established  
\_ Do you have any improvement to directly charge the battery in your cabinet so as not to expose it to a salty environment?

The battery must be removed from the watertight enclosure, and charged separately in a safe area.
