| then connect the wall plug to the charger and bam! i am not sure if there is a certain way to charge the batteries, so i will read the instruction manuel. |

| Hey Rhys, yes definitly read the chargers manual. I charge my lipo batteries on a hard surface (fireplace) and never leave them unattended. lipo's are great but they need to be treated with care. |

| i am going to have to find a manual online because it didn't come with one. i was worried when i bought this because there are stickers and signs that say "caution can cause fire". |

| Hey, Yes they can cause a fire. Most fires are caused my using the wrong settings, punctured cells etc.Have a good read of the manual (mine was also online) and just double check everything... battery size (mah)... number of cells (2s..3s)... battery type (lipo, nimh, etc)and don't leave it unattanded while charging and you will be fine. Do you have a balance lead? |

| Hey Rhys. Yeah, be careful of those batteries, I've heard bad stories about fires. Take Reubens advice and charge them somewhere that fire can't spread from, to be safe. I charge mine in a metal biscuit (cookie) tin. Hey - when's your birthday? Not today is it? |

| i'll find a fire safe place in my house. i probably just use the fire place in our new house like reuben said. my birthday was yesterday (the 4th). |
