I just got back into RC and we didn't have Lipos back in the day. I heard a lot of horror stories so I've been charging my batteries in a bag, inside a ammo box. I only charge at 1s and haven't noticed by batteries getting even remotely warm charging or after a drive. I then charge it back to storage mode before putting it up for the night.
I look at the pros and there's not a charging bag in site. They either charge next to the car or sometimes even in the car itself. How can they be that confident? From what I've seen you don't get a lot of time to notice a battery going bad before it smokes/flames. Do the top of the line batteries offer more safety/reliability? Or am I overthinking the battery issue?
