Lithium Polymer batteries have a very critical charge cycle which has to be closely monitored by the charger sensors. The powerful Lithium cells may only be charged to a maximum of 4.18 Volts per cell. That means a 2 S battery would have a limit of 2 x 4.18 V = 8.36 Volts etc.
If the charger setting is wrong (too high), for example set to 3 cells instead of 2 cells, the voltage would exceed the maximum level and a devastating process would start, which results in burning of the battery.
This charger protects against mis-adjustment and would not start charging at a wrong setting
If you have 2 cell, 3 cell or even 4 cell packs, it is possible to forget to re-adjust to 2 cells after charging a 4 cell battery. This would overcharge your battery and would cause a fire.
If in doubt, charge batteries in ceramic or metal containers. After a crash or mid-air, take the shrink tubing of the cells and check the wiring for blank spots which could touch or for contacts which could touch and short circuit. Also check whether the cells are punched. If the cells are damaged, take the battery apart and store cells separately from each other and dispose off bad cells. We are using our battery packs for over 8 months now and they are doing just fine, without any incidents.
