Ok, "splain this one to me. Bought a new. 2 cell 700 mah lithium Polymer battery pack yesterday. Along with a new charger. they were checked out on the system, and then put on the charger. Charger is FMA Direct LIPO-203. 220ma charge, till the charger quit charging (light went out), about 3 hours. Took them off the charger, set them on the counter. 2 hours later, we stuck them in the airplane-a "littlest Stick", and put the wing on. Barreries are just in the airplane, not connected to anything. Just setting there.
15 minutes later, smoke is pouring out of the fuselage. Batteries are STILL not connected to anything.except that all the insulation is melted off the things, and batteries are swolen up like to Nicad size. Big mess. May have gorren so hot as to melt the reciever. Any ideas? If these things are THAT dangerous, maybe we need a different power supply.Roger
