Lithium Polymer batteries are widely used in RC planes, cars, etc and
are known to be potentially dangerous. Most runaway fires occur during
charging but it has also occurred to a lessor degree during discharge
and even storage. Vented charging safety bags are recommended for this
reason. There is a video on this link that shows the explosive power
of small LiPo's. Consider the size differance of these batteries to
the one hung under the trike in one of the first posts or those that
could be installed in the wings of a sailplane.
