A pack that suffered premature damage or failure was not any kinds of valid test sample , you wanna see lipos burn darned near explosively ? take a brand new UN damaged fully charged lipo and put it to the test . Financially painful and wasteful ? sure ! but any lipo fire your gonna likely encounter will be from a "good" battery that still retains it's ability to store a decent amount of power VS a used up clapped out pack that couldn't hold the power to light off a flashbulb , much less start any fires .
