I'm not trying to question anything Shayne or Nigel are saying just trying to get the facts. i think we are all getting a little too casual about our battery charging - what we are setting the cut off at - how many times we are re-peaking etc etc.

For example if it was charged on a Much More then the cut off should have been set at 03 not 18

I need to get on to Sony and find out exactly what he did so we can make sure people are aware of how to avoid these kind of problems before people get hurt. This is on the eve of Lipo being available to the general RC public which have much more potential for problems.

lets get the facts out and have a re-look at what we are all doing - right or wrong.

If you don't think it's serious have a look at the photo below and imagine if that was a vulnerable part of your body
