Default RE: When LiPo's Attack!!!

Thanks Dale, I wanted to, but thought twice about stating the obvious...

But then again, we've only read his limited side of the story.

I don't trust LiPos, I was charging one once and it blew up in my kitchen gave my mother burns all around her face and arms and her belly.. From that day on I never used one again.
There is the other side to this story, i.e. you were definitely doing something wrong here. Lipos don't just 'blow up'. You had something happen, i.e. charge leads shorted, or you were overcharging or were using a nimh charging profile or something...
