Default RE: Lipo Fires Are Real![Fantastic Advice!] Can I ask for further help?

lipos are safe to use provided you understand and follow the rules for charging them.true ...you can't abuse them like many have with nicadss.but if you charge and balance your packs and do it correctly these products are safe.notwithstanding ...commonsense dictates you use store them inlipo sacks etc.I store them in sacks and for peace of mind leave them in a fireproof lockbox. I feel safe charging in my garage or sometimes in the kitchen on my stovetop.a fireproof surface.But I AM ALWAYS and I MEAN ALWAYS IN ATTENDANCE!!! as for my other batteries I dont charge them and go to bed like I used to years ago.all batteries should be treated carefully!!

I am fortnuate now that our club has charging stations at the field.now I do my charging on site so as not to have to bother at home but always while travelling use lipo sacks and a small safe!I aint no fool!
