My MGM 16018 catch in fire!

This may not have been your problem but I wouldn't rule it out.

the "18" number isnt the amount of voltage it can take but the number of NiMh cells it can handle....so the voltage was fine

My mistake s I apologise, I'm sure it won't make any difference in that case but as MGM have a 16025 listed I went with that instead of the 16018, it'll probably still go up in smoke at some point!
