Safe storage lipos?

[Trickelitrick]

I just bought this ammobox to keep my lipos when not in use. Its air tight so in case of a fire in the box, would it be better with a vent hole or not, for expanding gases or whatever?

Everything that I have read says that it should be vented so that it doesn't explode if something goes wrong inside. I took the seal on the lid out and drilled two holes in the lid of my ammo box.

@Trickelitrick yes, with a vent hole. I have a similar type box and I've drilled 3 small holes in, top and two sides.

Oh dang, good thing you posted this, I have two extremely puffed(cases split) 3s lipos sitting in my ammo box in my storage shed.

I wanted to see what happens with a lipo. Had a old drone 4s lipo with a dead cell. Put a knife in it, some hissing and a lot of smoke was the result. Not the flames i was expecting, but definiately not something you want at home.

i had an unbalanced 3s that i charged in safebag...started smoking and i pulled it out from charger and rushed to the balcony, just as i open the door swoooosh two 1metre flamethrowers, one on each side out of the bag...all that remains is a connector
