Don't squeeze your batteries !!!
Could this be a lipo fire?
House went up in smoke after a man squeezed an unusual looking lithium battery while charging. http://m.theage.com.au/victoria/expl...709-2pndq.html |

Your lipo is probably already jacked if squeezing it bursts it into flames. Im not saying squeeze it like you're trying to choke it out but I wouldn't worry about it much.

Sounds like coincidence to me (battery was about to go up when he picked it up anyway).

Is it really that hard to charge inside of a pot with a lid on?

he dropped it INSIDE and ran OUTSIDE? that's just silly.
i've often thought about what i'd do if i ever had one flame up. I have an oven mitt next to my charger. i'm grabbing that, then the pack, and chucking it out in the gravel in my back yard. worst case THROUGH my window. but, if time permits i'll walk it out through the door. there's no reason not to be prepared for this type of thing. it's rare. but, clearly it happens.

I must admit before I knew better, I accidentally discovered that one of my worn 1s batteries yielded more power when I gave it a squeeze between my fingers.

Yeh, don't squeeze a badly deformed LiPo... it can cause an internal short, which in tern may cause a fire.

I like the part when they say the 47 year old mans fingers were burned and he called for his dad.

I know right! But I try not to judge too much as I have been on the unemployment line and was almost that far gone. I didnt have a job but I still had my helis!

At some point, you go from living with your dad, to your dad living with you. I think at 47 you've passed that point.

I might be the other way around, but the first thing that popped up in my mind was a middle aged man living in his parents basement playing with mall helicopters all day.
