LiPOs are not sensitive to water. But they are sensitive to shocks that damage the cell. They can also be very intolerant to mistakes in charging or shorting. That is where the LIFE cells shine as a more robust and shock resistant chemistry. LIFE is remarkably abuse tolerant and way less finicky to physical, charging, and discharging abuse than LIPO. That is why LIFE are perfect for our hobby. By the way, the 40 AH cells are great for medium to large ships. Imagine battling all day without having to recharge or change batteries. Don't have to lug extra batteries to the pond. Leave the chargers in the room and charge overnight. LIFE really makes life easy at the pond.
