Default A-Fun question on Lipos

Ok , we have all raed the warnings about "DONT LEAVE THE BATTERY UNATTENDED " so what do you do while its is charging ?

Me- battery sits on the fender charging , I ckeck it and
1) Clean the garage
2) Make sure lawn is neat
3) grab beer and watch battery very close
4) get a second beer to make sure I watch the battery closer
5) do the lawndry - maybe not
6) Continue PR plan with neibors by sharing beer
7) answer multiple questions "like no there is nothing wrong with my car "

Just getting into electrics and Lipos myself, and came across the same question.

What we have is an opportunity for people to make a little spare cash as Lipo-sitters

Just think, no more need to sit at home with your Lipos night after night. Slip the kid next door a few $$$ and he/she will keep an eye on your Lipos while you go out partying.

Maybe they could even be persuaded to cycle your old Nicads at the same time.

imagine if we weren't here to stop charging from hearing crackling noises in the next room......We've learned our lesson....

I sit here and read threads while I charge mine. Of course, I have to be careful not to get so lost in a thread, I don't pay attention to it.
