cautionary tale Lipo fire
Just a warning to al lipo users (most of us now)
On of our local drivers (a senior experienced member) dropped in to see us last night with a tale of woe he had placed his batteries on charge in a lipo sack in his kitchen ready for racing popped to fuel station to fill his road car came back to find his house on fire  .I have seen pictures it was a mess .Fire sevice estimated 15 more minutes and he would have been homeless insurance repairs will be thousands as the acrid smoke damage was extensive the reason for the lipo fire is unknown it could have have been a faulty lipo or charger or charger setting or other other human error .We will never know and its not worth debating here IT HAPPENED!! What we do know is he will never leave a lipo on charge unattended again and will ensure there in a lipo sack or pouch regards dave Fid

The error wasnt the fault itself, but leaving em charging unguarded.
The lipo bag probably did its job as a short term retardent, i dont know the safe usage of them or ip whatever but im guessing its not gonna put a fire out.
