Hmmm... I've been charging and storing my batteries in my bedroom ever since I bought them. Maybe I should invest in a clay pot as well, next time I had to the hardware store.

Not a bad idea. If you got and army surplass store close by the ammo cans work great also. They were around 5 buck here in town. You can button those up and use them for transporting the lipos in the car. When ever I would have a puffer I would put it in the ammo can for a while. Makes sense to grab two of them. One for the puffers if it happens and one for the safer ones. The one lipo I had that went up in flames took two others with it. So you wouldn't want to put any good batteries in the ammo can with one that might have problems.

Not sure we have those over here, could be a little bit lethal handing out army surplus stuff :lol: In fact from what I've seen in the news, I don't think they even have enough gear for the people that are out there :|

I just naturally put a New infront of England when I glanced at your location. We got lots of empty ammo cans here in the US. Unfortuanly it looks like there will not be a shortage anytime soon.

Dont ya have a beach somewhat close to you that might have a bunch burried in the sand? Take a metal detector.....:lol:

ehhh - might have been a bad joke......like British Humour!!!

Jeff, I read it again. I think I got it and why it may be like british humour. I wasn't over there but I think they let us into England without needing to storm the beaches. I am sure the GIs stormed thier share of female beaches while on leave in England. Maybe even one or two named Sandy Beach. I think the ammo cans they left were a little farther south around Normandy. Normandy, France I beleive that is.... lol


Alright that wasn't the reason I came back to this thread. The reason was to show all you guys that think the Irish are the lucky ones. That there is such a thing as Norwiegen luck also. Take a look at the top shelf above where the lipo fire was. Now thats just got to be the luck of the Norweigens. No Irish blood in me.

Not having any lucky Irish blood in me. I decided to not put the Norwiegen luck to the test because it really isn't as reliable as the Irish luck is. I have moved where I charge my lipos into the metal cabnet. It not air tight so the force would open the door but the back and sides are sealed so any flames would come out the front and not the sides or against the wall area. Not perfect but feel more comfortable being in seperate rooms when charging. Plus got the new balance charger to insure the cells are balanced from now on.
