Lipo batteries are very dangerous.  In real hobby grade R/C planes and helicopters, Lipo's are used due to their great power-weight ratio. A charger must be used that has a cutoff, because if they are charged for too long, they will start to swell and blow up.  Many good chargers have a covering that you are supposed to put over the battery while charging, due to their dangerous behavior.  I know of at least one garage completely burned up due to one small Lipo battery about the size of a AA battery. People should know what they are dealing with when they buy these machines. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zelatio]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 1st 2007 8:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on When good toys go bad V: RC planes going down in smoke]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/when-good-toys-go-bad-v-rc-planes-going-down-in-smoke/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/when-good-toys-go-bad-v-rc-planes-going-down-in-smoke/</guid><description><![CDATA[so, we now have potential flying ied s.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[david]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 1st 2007 10:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on When good toys go bad V: RC planes going down in smoke]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/when-good-toys-go-bad-v-rc-planes-going-down-in-smoke/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/when-good-toys-go-bad-v-rc-planes-going-down-in-smoke/</guid><description><![CDATA[SOMEONE ALERT OUR PRESIDENT OF THE IMPENDING TERRORIST ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jahi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 1st 2007 11:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on When good toys go bad V: RC planes going down in smoke]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/when-good-toys-go-bad-v-rc-planes-going-down-in-smoke/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/when-good-toys-go-bad-v-rc-planes-going-down-in-smoke/</guid><description><![CDATA[These batteries aren't to be used like this by someone who doesn't know how to handle them properly.  I've been running li-poly's on brushless motors in my RC planes and I've had a few batts explode of "vent flame violently" either from crashing or not watching what I'm doing when charging over the years.  sometimes they can take hours to go off. I keep mine in a fireproof box in the shed.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve-0]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 2nd 2007 1:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on When good toys go bad V: RC planes going down in smoke]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/when-good-toys-go-bad-v-rc-planes-going-down-in-smoke/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/when-good-toys-go-bad-v-rc-planes-going-down-in-smoke/</guid><description><![CDATA[Lipo fires<br><a href="http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1199486" rel="nofollow">http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1199486</a><br><br>I dont use Lipos in my planes for this reason. <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Buurin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 2nd 2007 1:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on When good toys go bad V: RC planes going down in smoke]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/when-good-toys-go-bad-v-rc-planes-going-down-in-smoke/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/when-good-toys-go-bad-v-rc-planes-going-down-in-smoke/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, same as Dan said.
