Sohtech LiPo Vault with Brett Wilson at the Pitch Party 2016

What RC experts are saying about the Sohtech LiPo Vault:

"I'm very impressed with your project and like that you had the foresight to invent something like this. I've been looking for something like this for a very long time. I have a couple of fireproof safe's and ammunition boxes I use. LiPo's are very dangerous and many people take them for granted.



I really like the pass through feature, I would definitely use that feature."

Dino Zuzic, President of Calgary RC Heli Club (Calgary, AB)

"We have been fortunate with only a couple of minor LiPo incidents but as electrics are becoming a major part of our hobby, perhaps it is time for our membership to consider such safe guards."

Dave Downs, President of Airdrie Modellers Aircraft Society (Airdrie, AB)

"Keep up the good work, I'm impressed."

Mark Sanders, President of Renegade Flyers RC Club (Surrey, BC)





Ultimate LiPo Storage System

Are you, a friend or a relative using lithium polymer batteries (LiPo) and are concerned about how to safely store your LiPos?

The Sohtech LiPo Vault is the perfect solution to all your LiPo storage needs, whether you are just starting in your RC hobby or are a seasoned hobbyist. You can store all your LiPos in it and carry it anywhere you want, while charging up to 4 channels of LiPos.

MAX model.

Multiple Fire Proof Compartments

Having one LiPo catch fire is bad enough, imagine having it spread to multiple LiPos. The Sohtech LiPo Vault stops this domino effect right in its tracks. With multiple fire proof compartments lined with fire resistant tiles, one can rest assured that if one of your LiPos catches on fire, your other LiPos will not contribute to a larger fire.

Our MAX model features eight fire proof compartments, each can hold a 6S 6000mAh LiPo or any LiPo with size up to 6.3 cm L x 7.7 cm W x 20.0 cm H or 2.5″ L x 3.0″ W x 7.9″ H.

Our XL model with six fire proof compartments are for users with larger compartment requirement or are flying drones. The XL holds six LiPos with size up to 8.4 cm L x 7.7 cm W x 20.0 cm H or 3.6″ L x 3.3″ W x 7.9″ or six Phantom 4 LiPos.

You can store your tools and accessories in any unused compartment.

Our filter has internal surface area of over 100 football fields!

Active Filtration System

LiPo fire is dangerous but so is its smoke. We all know burning plastics (ie. polymer) emits toxic fumes, but what makes it worse is the combustion of fluorine bearing electrolyte, which yields corrosive hydrofluoric acid.

The Sohtech LiPo Vault surpasses all other products by reducing the amount of toxic smoke released into the environment. In the event of a LiPo fire, the Active Filtration System filters toxic fumes and reduces the amount released into the environment. The interior of our oversized precision CNC machined light weight aluminum filter is loaded with acid neutralizing premium grade active charcoal, which has a total surface area of over 100 football fields.

Now, that’s smart.

Fits all your charging wires!

Universal Feedthrough System

LiPo fire tends to occur during the charging process. Sohtech LiPo Vault features a Universal Electrical Feedthrough System to accommodate all types of charging and balancing cables on the market today, allowing the top lid to be closed and thereby the filter is not bypassed when the LiPos are charging.

With our unique Universal Electrical Feedthrough System, you can charge up to four channels of 14S LiPos inside the Sohtech LiPo Vault
