RE: Switch and charge
Can't edit for some reason, so I'll just put my additional 2 cents worth here. There are several safety precautions to take with LiPo and you have already heard of several ways to help you out. As I said, I have the LiPo Sack.. it's not a gimmic, they work.. but only once if you DO have a fire.
One members wife made these neat little ceramic "pots" to recharge our LiPo's in.. he gave me one. Neat. But, there are several ways to protect yourself and your property.. but the most important one is to charge it outside away from stuff, on dirt or concrete.
