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></font></div>

that may not be the best 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></font></div>

how they store there lipos, please contribute to this thread as I think it is
important as a community that we spread the message that this technology which
has been proven to be safe for the most part also can be dangerous.</span></font></div>
