Even using a sophisticated charger, many Radio Control flyers remove their
Lithium battery from the airplane and charge it in a remote location, away

What makes this necessary for RC planes` Li batteries? I don`t
recharge my digital camcorder or digital camera in the shed to avoid
explosions! Or should I start doing that?!

They can blow up if overcharged.
One can acheive full charge without by charging them at a constant
4.2v/cell. Not as fast as a sophisticated charger, though.

They are nice and light. Since they have this problem, you have to
order them from overseas places. There are a couple around.
