this is what happens when you try to charge your battery in the bathroom and take a hot shower. one of my customers did this and this is the final product..

please.. use common sense people...

Wow!!!! That is nuts. So everything iv learned about electricity and water not mixing is true?....lol just kidding glad they where not hurt.

same here, i know there are reports of them exploding while charging but i dont think we should take warm showers with em charging in the same room.

thats just asking for trouble

There can be problems with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in general:Lithium ion batteries - Provider Wiki

I'm no rocket surgeon, but I found this interesting: "The reason lithium-ion batteries do catch fire involves tiny lithium particles that form fibers known as dendrites. Over several charge/discharge cycles, these dendrites can accumulate on the battery’s carbon anodes. Once that happens, short circuits can occur, resulting in rapid overheating and combustion. Scientists have previously been able to study the principles of dendrite formation using theoretical models and microscopes, but had not been able to quantify the amount of dendrites formed... "

This is why I made a little charging station out of an old ammo can with 2 vent holes. I charge my 18650 and my eGo twist with out worry now.
