Isn't 140* a bit too hot??? I mean the safe limit is like 160* right? Pretty much all battary types perform better when they are warm (electrons can move around easier), so the idea behind the product is correct. Their marketing scheme is ridiculous though. Using the word "Pro" in front of any product usuall turns me off of it, because it usually isn't. It's supposed to make you think it's high quality and/or worth the high price they charge for what amounts to a coil of wire in a bag. On top of that, the ad claims you get higher voltage from your lipo when you use it. I would like to see proof of that, but I never will- because there isn't any and there never will be.

I have found that certain lipos (30 c enerlands) like to be at 100f or more for best performance, and they did not perform at all under about 60f...

I'd use that to put my ding a ling in in winter time here in Wisconsin when snow blowing. Nothing worse than a frozen schlong. Other than that I can not think of any other good uses for that.

Electrons dont move better with higher temps, its quite the opposite, but thats another story.

We use these

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=10752335

to warm up lipos to about 100 F in the winter time for outdoor racing. A lipo at 40-50 F will not put out any real punch until it warms up. They are very slow for a couple laps unless preheated.
