Use lipo bags kids!...
 

Tonight as I came off the field onto the carpark I firstly heard a "ptzzzzzzz" sound followed by a suspicious smell. My lipos/cables had caught fire inside the my car!

No idea how it happened, something somehow closed the circuit.

Thankfully my Mondeo didn't go up in flames... Lesson learned, put batteries inside bag on their own and not with other things that could somehow make contact with the terminals.

PS: There's absolutely no chance that my "exuberant" exit from the field caused it. None at all....

PPS: Dave has pics of the aftermath, thankfully no pics of me in a panic prancing about with a the contents of a lipo bag on fire...

bloody hell gui, i wondered why you were following us off the field but never came off of the carpark behind us....... couldve been worse i suppose but still scary thought !

Yeah, I am glad it didn't happen on the a-road with the window down. I may have not have heard it and the back could have literally caught fire at 70 mph... not good!

Dave, lets see the pics then.

sorry no pics, i only used the light on my fone to see better... if there is a next time i will take pics :lol:

must get a bag of sand and a bucket to keep in the container...

The battery didn't go up, but it is busted :( Ordered some gens aces.
