Safety first.

I was working in a model shop in 2003 when Lipo's were starting to come in and be used a lot in helicopters.

There was a story that went around everywhere with pictures of a guy charging the heli in the back of his car, I don't know what happened and led to this but the battery caught fire followed swiftly by his car, whole lot went up.

The pictures were of this burnt out car, you could make out the heli in the boot still, was horrible but that was a long time ago and tech has moved on since then, still, probably better to be safe than sorry eh !
