Has anybody looked 'in detail' at the charging method required for Lipos?

I use them a lot, not in my bikes!!, and can tell you that if they are charged incorrectly they are VERY prone to catching fire.
For example, if you were to charge a 11.10 volt(3 cell) lipo pack with an equivalent voltage set charger for either Nihm's or Nicads then, if left, the lipos will just continue accepting charge until they burst.
The chemical inside reaches huge temperatures and they just blow apart setting fire to themselves (cheap lipos) or anything flammable around them.

For a racing bike not using a charging system they will be great, but PLEASE check before using in a bike with a charging system. This is not scare mongering, I have seen the results of incorrect charging. Not nice!

Mike
