I being an ex auto technician always threw caution to the wind and took extra steps to avoid the "what-ifs". I am sure those that do charge their batteries inside the tanks closely supervise the operation and don't leave the room OR the house. It's good knowing that it has been done without any consequences.

Hi Jeff. I was thinking about you the other day, You've been quiet, hopefully doing things you want to do. Cheers

Hi Dan! Just dealing with new problems and side effects every month. But, my head is above water so that's a good thing, huh?

Thanks buddy!

Suddenly all my lipo safety videos don't seem too dramatic now huh? I've seen some crazy stuff and working for a RC company I've seen even more. I always say to go get a small smoke detector from wallyworld and put it on your charger. Yea its ugly, but look what $5 may save you The ammo cans or a metal toolbox is a great idea as well. Maybe I should put that as a recommendation in the next charger manuals
