So I read a lot about fire risk on these Lipo's while charging. Is it really that bad? I mean I read to place it in those fire bags, etc. but honestly I don't think I could sit there for hours just baby sitting batteries charging.
The risks have been exaggerated, but they require common sense to use safely, like anything else. Just be sure to use the right type of charger, balance the pack every so often and don't let it run down below a safe voltage. Follow these and a few other essentials and lipos will last you for years.
There are loads of web based resources available, or we'd all be happy to fill in the gaps for you here.
