The battery comes with so many warnings about exploding and storing and charging battery in a fire proof container. Has this ever happened?

nope, I tend to use lipos which are even more dangerous but I do charge my batteries with a proper charger, not the one that came with this car. the NimH is pretty safe, it does heat up quite a bit while charging but hasn't set anything on fire yet.

I have a battery turned around in EVERYTHING i pack that is battery powered. I dont know if it has an adverse effect, but from experience,m, ive never had any problems storing anything like that long term

We store ours in our car all the time. I am guessing the concern is that it uses a li-ion battery. There is still a concern of getting them too hot and what the will do in an accident.

My one year old Kindle Fire battery popped, one side exploded inside the packet. I'm very happy with the new battery I ordered, but think a battery should last more than one or two years.

It will not damage your battery if battery keep in the slot as it has power protection circuit. Smays Smays

Depends on the battery, if it's Li-Ion rechargeable battery you'll fry the battery.

No, the safe doesn't appear to be fireproof. It lacks any sort of insulation and one can open tiny gaps between the lid and the box even when closed.

Battery just says lithium on side and warning that it can explode if crushed. They last longer and my camera requires them.

Funny how the manual has a safety warning about lithium-ion batteres though. ;)

yes you should be concerned first of all it won't fit back into your phone properly second is a lithium-ion battery they have been known to explode they're cheap enough throw it away get a new one

In theory, the charger with which it comes includes an internal voltage-sensing cut-off switch: so the battery stops receiving charge current once it's capacity is filled. That said, it's never good practice to leave any battery on charge longer than necessary - especially LiPos. This generation of batteries are infinitely more performant than previous generations: yet they are also more delicate. They may swell and seemingly heat-up on use. Never start charging a cell that is even slightly hot - such as it may well be immediately after using it: allow a few minutes for it to cool. Be careful of shorting the connectors whilst storing during Travel... Isolate from potential sharp objects that could puncture the skin... (Keep away from pet's teeth..!!) If not using for some time, recharge to filled capacity and then use for 2 minutes prior to storage (80% full)... I store mine coddled in fine sand, three to a sardine-can sized old metal chewing tobacco tin: in the event of a fire, these cells burn at very high temperatures and need to be starved of all oxygen - and even then, the damage that can be caused in even a short time, may be significant... Bottom line : RESPECT the integrity of these cells and they will give great service.

Do not use puffy batteries. They will explode on you. Literal fire and smoke, almost a mini grenade in your pocket. Happened to me with these same batteries.

I don't know what happened with the battery.. I have read numerous post about the durability and how fast that they would recharge.. With a 3 year warranty, I figured it to be an excellent deal... Put it in my motorcycle and actually took the time to build my own spacers out of wood.. Drilled them full of hole, just in case heat would be a factor.. Took my bike on maiden voyage and had to have some other bikers help push my cruiser to get it started.. Brought it home and the battery actually blew apart.. Broke the top of my battery box..

It does have an overcharge safety, but I'd never advise leaving these types of batteries in any charger for more time that it takes to charge them, let alone days or weeks. You're just asking for trouble in that scenario.

Most LiIon batteries only come partially charged and need to be fully charged once you take delivery. There is a partial charge that is part of the manufacture of the batteries, but the cells are not fully charged as a safety measure. Batteries that have a full charge can be hazardous if damaged in shipping. There is a lot of energy stored in a small space. A short circuit or crushing the cells can cause fire.

Due to the compact design and relatively high charging current, batteries can become toasty hot _if_ the BCG34HRE missed termination signal (negative dV/dt) - especially with the charger cover closed. I did an experiment by charging four nearly full Rayovac 4.0 Hybrid AA cells together (this is to force the worst-case scenario where all batteries are being over-charged), and measured the cell temperature with an infrared thermometer. The highest temperature recorded was 62 degree C, which is too hot to hold for most people, but not high enough to cause a meltdown. Note that this will NOT happen if you recharge partially exhausted cells (because then the charger can terminate correctly by detecting negative dV/dt). But to be safe, I recommend charging with the cover open or removed.
