Lipo Fire on You Tube.

[bl-is-future]

simple answer..... stupidity
If you charge at the rated specs with a lipo approved charger and use the lipo pack within its ratings there is no reason you should EVER have a problem. Let alone let it piratically burn your house down. You should always charge with supervision. If any of this had been followed he would still have everything but maybe a battery and charger. He could of put the fire out way before it spread that bad. Sorry for the rant just find these lipo tragedies to be absolute stupidity.

I gotta get a couple freakn ammo boxes....TODAY.

I agree. I would guess ALL of the major lipo rules were broken. I don't like the anti-lipo crap. I just got scared after seeing these videos. Do batteries need stored in fire safe containers, like ammo cans? I have seen people use fire boxes for paperwork and such. But those boxes were designed to save contents from outside fires, would they protect the outside from fire inside?

ok, looks to me those guys jsut threw it in a fire.

Alot of these "lipos will blow up the world" videos basically charge them way too high, heat em up, puncture em, dead short em.

If you follow the rules of lipo, you wont have a problem...you ever hear of a cell phone catching fire from normal use? NOPE

there was a nationwide recall of over 6 million sony produced batteries and the cell phones and laptops they were in. Of course manufacturing tolerances have changed and this is now extremely unlikely to happen, I have heard of lots of cell phones exploding from normal use.
