<p class=MsoNormal>In a similar incident this weekend, I had an Rx pack
(2s800mah) blow a cell (with a lot of smoke and heat, but no flame) when one of
the balance wires came detached from the balance connector and shorted to the
pin on the micro deans it brushed against in the case. A bit of a fluke
accident, but none the less, had potential to cause a serious fire. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I realize I’ve been WAY to cavalier with the number of packs
of various sizes that I have sitting all over the shop. 1,2,3,4,5 and 6
cells packs, all told probably number in the hundreds when you include
literally dozens of Foamy and BNF packs, Heli packs, 3cell and 4 cell sport packs
and on and on.<o:p></o:p></p>

color:navy'>Hey guys wanted to let you know about an incident I had over the
weekend that caused some high concern. I flew four flights yesterday,
then returned home. I thought I would go back out later and fly three
more, so I charged three more batteries. The three batteries on was
planning on using, were flown the previous day, and were not overly
discharged. I took my kids to the movies as my wife did not want to go,
and that turned out to be the best thing for the family. One of my 2014
packs decided that it no longer wanted to live and decided to catch fire all by
itself. I have always thought that the best time for these to catch fire,
would be during the charge cycle. This incident happened almost an hour
after charging the pack. Keep in mind that after I charged the pack,
there were immediately put into my flight box for storage until I got back from
the movies. After I took them off the charger, the batteries did not see
warm in any way, cool to the touch. I have had these batteries for two
and as far as I can remember - they where not damaged in any way. Due to
my wifes' heroic action, the house did not catch on fire like my toolbox
did. She brought them out to the drive way water on them to kill the
flames. I have been pretty cavalier with packs, leaving them out once
they are charged and not putting them in something safe for storage....those
days are done. If this can happen to a battery sitting with a stored
charge, I will not longer leave my house or family unprotected. <span

thing for them either as the battery give off a gas and they need to
breathe. In other words if you left them in a safe you may be creating a
bomb scenario. What I did was - several years ago, I bought a metal ammo
case. I removed 3/4 of the rubber around the case allowing for the
exchange of air to occur.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
