Take care Mark - they look worrying!

Mark, was the fire caused by overheating of the battery due to a high rate of discharge?

I attributed it to three factors;
1. The temperature on the day was 36degC.
2. The power output for my setup is 120Amps continuous.
3. Battery manufacturer (FlightPower), which has since recently closed its doors, had opted for a lesser manufacturer of the raw polymer material for their LiPol batteries.
