BB Blue reliability

[Clark Sann]

A few weeks ago there were a few posts from people that had fried their BB Blue power supply circuitry. That caused me to be wary of purchasing a BB Blue for my project. Since then I've heard nothing further about this problem. Maybe those instances were outliers. Anyone else having reliability problems with the BB Blue?

Just don't connect the lipo battery backwards. The connector is keyed, but if you connect your own connector to the wire leads of the battery, results may vary.

HA. I’ve never considered that to be a good idea. You think that’s the reason for the recent releases of smoke?

That was Mark's reason, his lipo didn't have a connector.

Only reason I've heard.
