lol well man my wall sucks! after i charge my packs on my 1210i it sais how many volts are going through it but if i take off the batts it shows 52V so i figured that meant the wall puts out 52V lol...

anyways if i do it i will find a vacant parking lot and do it there.

Your charger does that because it is momentarily trying to drive a constant current through an open circuit (when you remove the batts), which causes the voltage to spike. Don't forget, the charger is actually running off 12v input and is using an internal switching power supply to boost that 12v to whatever it needs to charge the attached pack.

I vote for BB gun just make sure you zoom the camera right in,there's already a vid on youtube of someone applying 220V to one (in what looks like a school fume cabinet) best lipo fire I've seen, but I've never seen one shot.
