You got me beat! Lol
Insurance can be expensive until you need it. Can't play with fire dude. Got to respect the technology or it won't respect you.
You are not alone. My wife says the exact thing to me. LolIKR? I figured if they do explode at least the cast iron stove can handle the heat and smoke will be vented out. The real challenge was trying to explain the concept to my wife...who still thinks I'm crazy for playing with toys that could explode.
A slow discharge down to zero volts will prevent a castrohy. But never bring down a lipo that low until you want to discard it. A lipo has more propensity to explode if it is fully charged. That's why they are more dangerous while charging. But a breached outer heatshrink can cause a fire just sitting unconnected. When oxygen hits lithium polymer it ignites. How much force always depends on the size and how much voltage it contains.Can the lipos be dangerous just sitting there in storage?
Lithium fires can cut through metal like a plasma torch.
