yeah, i agree and i know.
but when cells DO explode IMHO it is more physically dangerous than a lipo. lipo is a just like thin bags with the stuff in it while normal sub c cells are decent thickness metal. from all the nimh explosions i've come across they really do turn into like a shrapnel grenade. after an explosion i can easily find metal bits and the internals scattered across my whole area, like what, 20m radius?
i aint saying lipos arent dangerous, they just have a less BANG explosion, more like a BURST explosion as they seem to just swell up and pop while nimh just leak acid and explode.
i understand where your coming from about the a123 cells and they seem fairly good and safe, but until they fit a lil better, by being not as long, i'll stay with lipos. i'll try them one day
