Smoke detectors themself are dangerous if you really want to get technical. look on the smoke detector. you will see the little radioactive sign. radioactive particles wrapped in a little foil pouch is what triggers the detectors. it is so unreliable, as most of you probably had one go off when cooking dinner, open the bathroom door after a hot shower etc.... they are supposed to be disposed of through special places too because of this.... did you know that deaths due to fires actually increased by almost 50% the first year smoke detectors were introduced to the public? people trusting an unreliable technology...

I have had worse luck with nmh batteries than I have lipos
