3. They are airtight, so if a fire does start at least it's cut off from a good supply of oxygen (though a Lithium fire may also require heat absorption to extinguish it properly).
4. The ammo box is watertight, so it's protected from changes in humidity or water leakage/spillage.

The only disadvantage I found is that I can't find one that has a compact size for storing 3-5 batteries - so I still have to put my batteries in a LiPo sack when I go to meetings.
Ammo box seems a good idea but my only concern would be having all my lipos in the one place. If one decides to go up, wouldn't it set the whole lot off in the one box? So I suppose I need multiple boxes for added safety?
