My husband charges his lithium batteries in a sturdy metal container and only while he is at home and awake. So far so good.
I also sail model boats and use them, but you need to put thing in perspective, those are not built the same.

But more importantly they are not charged with a $1500 battery management system. they are charge with a $40 charger.


.While I understand your concern, that concern is not present herein.
