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.
1: They burst into flames, but there has to be a short of some sort.
2: They expand and burst due to the presure, but only if a short occurs inside of it.

I've had lipos read 0.00v and none puffed, I've had none short, but I've had MA almost burst.
