everyone seems to be making excuses for them "you did not treat them right" etc, but hell this is dangerous and the manufacturers should be taken to task.
You will note that a young lady in this thread has had her sight damaged in one eye when her RX nicads blew up, guys this is serious stuff. apparantly this is just one of a number of incidences of IB4200s blowing up, they are far too fragile for our use......
These cells do not just explode on their own. User misuse or charger misuse is what causes these cells to explode. Ive matched thousands of cells and have not had any explode. It happens when people forget packs have charge in them or they are already fully charged and then try to charge them again. Or a charged pack get shorted out on a chassis or against something. That is not the batteries fault...Its the user's fault.
These cells are not idiot proof and all types of batteries are dangerous when mistreated or abused.
