Hoverboard batteries have been problems lately-the batteries have exploded or caught fire during charging.I have had no problems with the lithium battery powered appliances I have.I won't charge them when unattended. | ||

I have a group of friends that all fly electric RC aircraft (Quad copters and fixed wing) and they all carry their batteries in flame proof sleeves. Some of their batteries are about 1/2 the size of a standard brick so there is a LOT of energy in those.
Lithium secondary batteries are generally pretty stable when not in use as long as they aren't damaged. Most fires seem to happen during charging or if the battery is shorted. Very important to charge devices where the cooling is not impeded. Try charging a cell phone under a pillow and see how hot it gets! The internal battery temp is quite a bit higher. | ||
