Having seen a few LiPo batteries puff-and-burn (from my RC helicopter days), I would be very hesitant about powering anything off them in a cockpit. I would probably use LiFePO4 instead.

Does this happen spontaneously on the shelve, or only when the battery is being charged or drained? I'm thinking about the ARC ResQlink PLB that I strap to my chest.
