My first Lipo incident.

[Supermario]

I have a system or routine I always follow when I run my equipment in the backyard. When I'm done playing, I bring them into the basement one at a time and immediately remove the battery before going to get the next one.
A few days ago I had the dozer and hoe out. I brought the dozer in first. It was getting dark and for some reason I just put it on the table and went back out to get the hoe. I totally forgot to take the battery out of the dozer and left the Sabertooth powered for days! I opened up the dozer last night to play and that's when I discovered the battery still plugged in
Pulled it out, it's a little puffy and of course stone dead. My heart skipped as I thought, I'm lucky I didn't burn the house down!
I know that dropping a lipo or shorting, overcharge, can cause them to blow up. Can they be violent when run too far down?

I've now posted a reminder on the basement door that says "batteries".
