This is true of all modern lithium ion consumer hardware, because if you don't get this part right, the battery explodes and burns down your house the first time.
- sidewndr46 2y agoOne of my co workers decided to charge his drone at the office and found this out . Or more accurately the whole office did
- philjohn 2y agoIs there now a section of the employee policies that forbids charging drones in the office?
- lazide 2y agoThe manuals have always told people to charge outside, for this reason.
- xnzakg 2y agoNot when the charger says "for home and office use only"
- sidewndr46 2y agoThere's probably some weird clause in the usage guidelines saying you need to have the charger attended all times it is plugged in or something like that.
- mapt 1y agoIt's not just a clause. People will claim that this is the only safe way to charge them. Personally, I think we need a cultural-architectural accommodation - we used to have coal chutes, milkman boxes, ice doors. For well-regulated but large batteries like an EV, a detached garage. For raw cells, a grill sitting on the driveway. I have only had one "Spicy Pillow" from consumer devices (a phone-charger power bank), but with raw LIPOs in RC hobby gear it was an eventuality.
