Give it up will you? LIFEPO4 is by far the safest, I'm really getting fed up with you lot now, I thought there were intelligent people on this forum, you are proving me wrong! I'm off to bed now, I know my bats won't go bad in the night!!

Lithium polymer is the dangerous chemistry, as you well know, I think it's taken that is what's being discussed here, the facts remain. If we are not careful there will be a blanket ban on all Lithium based batteries imposed by government, which is a shame as LIFEPO4 is very safe, and you will...

Guys even when looked after properly they can blow up, read this http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/scientists-home-in-on-lithium-battery-safety-flaws/ People have been sent to jail for setting their apartment on fire because they fell asleep smoking in bed!! Lithium polymer is very unpredicable...

As long as we have people like Pure, Drunkskunk, Liveforphysics and Samtexas around, we will really need Health and Safety to protect us!!!

I go to bed and have no worries about my batteries, A123 is LIFEPO4 nano tech 30c continuous discharge, it powers the quickest electric bike in the world Killacycle!!

It's your fault, because you knew that it could happen, and you have a choice of safer chemistry, it was your choice to use it and it went bad, now that nice young couple who used to live in the flat above you is dead and their little baby!!!!! I'm the MORON!!!!

When you buy something with a Lipo battery in it, it is the manufacturer that takes responsibility, when you take it upon yourself to use the technology yourself, it's a totally different ball game. Am I really the "moron" or are you? I am an Engineer and Health and Safety qualified as well...

NO

You owe a duty of care to those around you, simple as that, you are held accountable for the consequences of your actions!!

I suggest that you look into the legal implications a bit more thoroughly before calling my post moronic! Matches are legal, it's what you do with them, it's called gross negligence, you set fire to your apartment block with something that's known to be dangerous... your going to jail simple as...

You set fire to your apartment block, people die, what are you going to say to the judge in court to stop you getting jail time?

HaHaHa Great I do love this forum :lol:

Yes and laptops, cellphones etc, catch fire too, all because FOOLS want smaller, lighter, cheaper gadgets, at the expense of safety.

Well you obviously know how to look after your LIPO! ... you don't monitor them charging, just rely on the balance charger! you don't know that over discharging is the real danger when you charge! physically damaged the packs! etc. etc. Bet you charge indoors as well, with the family in...

Another slave to the LIPO!! I tried.... I failed !!!! Enjoy your spare time monitoring them charge ( 4.16......4.17..........4.18..................4.19...............4.19...............4.19..........4.2 yeeeees...........4.21 nooooooo), and be prepared for the fire!!!! and don't forget...
