Re: Al's Annual Inspection Thread

This charger and battery to be charged and
discharged should be set up on a heat-resistant, non-flammable
and non-conductive surface. Never place
them on a car seat, carpet or similar.
This is a very good caution.
Way back when I used to fly electric R/C airplanes (I still fly planes) and we used NiCad batteries. I made the mistake of charging the battery on the plastic piece, in front of the headlight, of my Dodge 024 Miser. The mistake was leaving the battery unattended. When I got back the battery had melted the plastic bumper
