hi david, very sorry to hear of your trouble. this brings back bad memories for me . in july 2007 my entire house was burnt to the ground when i unintentionally left a lithium battery charging in my living room while i left to go to the shops. i got a phone call soon afterwards from a relative to get home as quick as possible and when i did i couldny believe my eyes. it was a nightmare. but it could have been a lot worse as my 86 year old aunt was in the living room and she tried to battle with the flames but the intense heat and smoke beat her back and she had the good sense to get to the front door where two workmen came and rescued her. since that day since ive never used a lithium pollymer battery and all i fly are glow planes. we were out of our house for 5 months until it was rebuilt. hope u get ur room sorted out and always stay safe when using these batteries. kind regards aidan
