Good article, but we also need to think of other lipo batteries in use today. These include garden tools like chainsaws, whipper snipers, lawn mowers etc. They are also much larger capacity and would have a more devastating effect should they explode.

Forgot power tools, drills, saws, we all have these.

And Dyson vacuum cleaners that are mounted in a convenient place in the home …

all true ofcouse  its a dangerous world we now have but the point of the article is for us rc players is don’t charge in the house or garage how you charge other stuff is up to you  My bro had a section of his garage go up in flames charging lipos many year ago   my solution is now going to be a beer keg with a  door cut in it and mounted on the verandah post  just about finished drinkin the beer 🍺    so sometime tomorrow..or the next day I’ll start  …….back to it  ………………………………………………………just sayn…BLURP
