<DIV><BR></DIV>IIRC it was a similar situation that took out all of Chip

starter" that he was using as a field charger caught fire and destroyed
the garage. <BR><BR>It is a good thing you were there to witness it and
prevent further damage! I can't count how many times over the years I

<DIV>I was working on my Brio out in the garage after having plugged in the
wall charger for the (glow) starter battery about 10 minutes ago. You
know, us internal combustion guys need to do that once in a while. All
of the sudden, I was standing in a cloud of smoke! I thought the
Triton2EQ, that was also charging the Brio, was the culprit but somehow, the
wall charger's wire's were the one's smoking! I quickly pulled the
both plugs from the outlet and got out of the garage ASAP. Never seen
that happen before! I guess you high powered LiPo guys don't have
exclusive rights to smoking batteries/charger excitement.<BR> <BR>Mike
