One of the LiPo guys in our club made a small "coffin" (yeah that's 
what it looks like) out of Portland cement to charge his LiPos.  He 
made two molds out of stiff cardboard (one for the coffin bottom and 
one for the top), mixed up some cement, poured it in the mold and 
waited for it to "dry".  The actual work time was about half an hour.
Being lazy, I just use a ceramic planter I got from Lowe's.
