Truly excellent LiPo battery tutorial - includes videos

[PhantomFan]

This is a must read. Be sure to look at the videos embedded in this tutorial that show the LiPo's catching fire and exploding. You will never leave you batteries unattended again after seeing the explosive energy and heat these things crank out when they are mishandled!

thanks for the link, fascinating really - i hadnt appreciated just how advanced they were. it does help the understanding of why additional Vision batteries cost what they do.
i dont think i'll be keeping mine in the frudge fully charged but i will defintely be taking on board some of the advice to expand it's life expectancy.
