I've also seen several people drill holes in the sides for the leads, and they charge their batteries inside the ammo box. IMHO this is a great idea. Haven't needed to try it myself as I'm a nitro guy that still uses NIMH receiver packs. However, I'm thinking about getting into electric, and this is how I'd plan to charge and store my lipos.
+1 on the vent holes, in case of a flameout, it will allow the pressure (and smoke) to vent and prevent an explosion from over pressuring the container.
There are a couple of Battery / Charger manufacturers that have started selling metal Lipo safes complete with charging leads attached. A great idea, just make sure you charge in one and store in another. Wouldn't want a bad charging incident to take out all your Lipos would ya!!!
