Question 1:
I know the fire-safe boxes will keep a fire out, however will it keep a fire in? Like if one explodes inside the box.

Question 2:
Can a lipo even explode when it's just sitting around, or does it have to be in the process or charging, balancing, or dis-charging (running).

Man, now I am paranoid. 2 years of running and never thought twice (always charged, balanced, and had my LVC's set properly) until I read your story and saw your pics... Scary.
