See 6 points on "safe charging"

Don,
I read the article with deja vu. I have added a note today to it that list 6 things that will help make LiPoly charging safer. I hope our readers will go there to read them.
I am really sad for Fred's loss. It is too bad that there is very little technical content in the 7 pages of notes on the thread. We really need to know what charger, what pack, what environment was used when the flames went up. And why did it stop with the garage? My guess is that the smoke and flames alerted people in the house to the problem and they put out the fire.
