I was trying to charge one of my 5S 4000 lipo's which had been damaged previously from something.
I thought it was all good though...........little did I know.

While it was charging on the loungeroom floor, I was watching TV & heard a crackling noise & when I looked at it it was puffed up like a balloon. I grabbed it & threw it out on the verandah where it got hotter & hotter till it caught fire & threw a flame out up to approx 5-6 feet.

Unfortunately I missed recording the fire & also missed the action with pics.

Here's the end result.
