Only dangerous if you mess up the charging procedure. Just get the right charger etc

as said li-po's are only dangerous if you dont charge them correctly.. depending on what the battery capacity is your supposed to charge them

say if its 4800mAh you charge at 4.8 amps or if its 3600mAh you charge at 3.6 amps

they only tend to blow up when people over charge them or use the incorrect charger

but never let the pack drop below 3.8volts i believe
or it will cause irriversable damage to the pack
