Isn't he the guy that burned down his car due to throwing a DAMAGED pack on his car seat and leaving it there overnight? If this is who you are talking about, knowing what you are doing and actually doing it right are two different things...
Now, I am quoting someone from Orion who sent me this in an email - "The Orion LiPo will not explode or torch even if over charged they will simply puff and pop like a paper bag. Too date we have only had one customer even manage to do this."
I have found no one claim to date that an Orion pack has torched. I'd like to hear if anyone else has heard of an ORION pack behaving this way. The way I'm seeing it, NiMH may have run it's course. Something to think about at least.
