There is a possibility that it can happen and I would rather not have a burned down house and 4 dead pets.You've been reading some frightening lipo bedtime horror stories, haven't you?
Each to his own. My original question is about the gas although I did mention fire. If it's in a metal box you won't have a fire just gas.You do realize that there are stores and places that regularly stock them and nothing ever happens? As long as you store your (not puffed) batteries around 60% charge in a dry, low ambient temp, and don't puncture them, there's virtually no chance for them to cause harm to anyone.
If you wanted to be 100% safe, you'd have to store them in a cement enclosure outside, far from anything flammable.
I didn't come here to get critiqued my question is about the gas from the batteries.

There are a number of LiPo battery videos on YouTube - you can garnish quite an education about LiPo batteries there.If you have a lipo battery in a metal box in the basement and it goes off is the hazardous gas dangerous upstairs or just in the immediate area?
Mark

just put them in a steel box over two plastic bottle of water ( 1L) so it can kill the fire right away...
Here's how I "Store" my LiPo (not the P3 batteries they are stored in my aircraft case because it's always mission ready).
