Batteries and chargers pure confusion!!

Yeah it does phones use lithium ion batteries the chemistry of your phone battery is the same as your lipo.

Yes, but I am not worried about a Lithium Ion battery, I have heard nothing bad about them.

I didn't do it for my personal safety, if I was at home I might have even left the room a few times, but here I live with many other people, and the list of prohibited fire hazard items is huge. The building management take fire very very seriously.

Don't mistake my being responsible, for being gullible.

Bit of info for you. You need to relax its a battery not a bomb and lipos are more common than most people think I have a 24v one I took out of a leaf blower they are everywhere.

Whatever you think is going on here, it's not. I've been chilling with a movie and $400 of flyye gear that came this morning.

Funnily enough of all the things I bought, the PC is the only thing I was not excited about, thankfully it was only $110 with foam plates and only added $3 to the postage. It's the one I want but I doubt i'll use it in this season.

I do a lot of research, some say too much, but I assure you all that any care I took today, such as making the battery mobile and staying within a 1m of it at all times had nothing to do with me, and only to do with where I am living, care for others.

I know you both mean well, unfortunately i've read comments by others saying the same thing 10s of times on other forums. Loz, I laughed at the mobile phone comment for that reason.

(no hard feelings! but I am relaxed)

Now to test my AEG.

Have you erected a correct ballistics proof barricade and have a medic on standby? Are you using a piece of string to pull the trigger just incase? ?

Re the bold part: https://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8&q=lithium%20ion%20battery%20explosion&oq=lithium%20ion%20&aqs=chrome.4.0j69i57j0l4.4429j0j8

There's been some pretty high profile cases of phone batteries exploding in peoples pockets (particularly Samsung ones for some reason).

Joking aside (and please don't mistake some light-hearted ribbing for piss taking) the actual risk associated with charging LiPo batteries comes (primarily) from one of two sources - cheap chargers that aren't properly regulated and damaged batteries. In fact you have a higher risk of ignition by not storing your batteries correctly (you should really keep them in a stiff sided box or fire proof bag to prevent accidental puncture and contain the burn in the event of damage). Using a decent charger (Imax B6, Turnigy etc) will help to reduce the risk associated with charging and making sure you correctly manage the cycling of the batteries (don't deep discharge them, don't over charge them etc) will also help.

At the end of the day though you must do what you feel safest with and if that involves kitchen implements then so be it.

Just for a bit of general background you may want to take a look at these:

It helps explain that the Lithium Ion battery in your phone is the same technology as the Lithium Ion Polymer battery in your gun for starters.
