overcharger lipo battery grrrrr

[What's_nitro?]

They're constructed in the same manner as electrolytic/PIO/film capacitors. With capacitors, the rated voltage depends mainly on the thickness of the electrolyte-separating layers. I'm sure if a piece of metal found it's way into a capacitor of sufficient size it could do some real damage as well.

BrianG: Do you know what brand of DVD player it was? Do they still make them with the LiPo cells? That's definitely an accident waiting to happen with all of the charging/protection circuitry in the PS. Was there even a proprietary connector on the charging port?
