Piper Chuck-- I remember that thread, now. Personally, I don't use LiPoly's, but several of the guys at the field have recharged theirs with my charger, and didn't start any fires; granted, we were sitting around talking and monitoring the temp while we were charging, and we were using a fairly conservative charge rate. I would not rceommend this charger to someone who only uses LiPoly batteries, but find it a fine charger for NiCads and NiMH. I think maybe MRC could amend its recommendations for Lithium battery use, but I see no reason to pull the charger from the market. I'm sure that whatever horror stories are out there, the majority of owners probably like theirs as well as I do. I regularly cycle my batteries, and do a lot of fast charging at the field; most of my batteries are reaching 3+ years, and still hold a good charge.
