OT - LIPO batteries

[3rutu5]

Has anyone on here used LIPO batteries for any low FI speaker projects? I have a few unfinished projects i want to close out and i like the fact that some of the 2200mah 1S cells are 45x40mm in size which would work well, then noticed that they recommend a "blanked" or "bag" to charge in.....a little concerning if they explode....

anyway tell me what the experiences are if you have used them.

Cheers

More than you asked for, but the stickies, though old, are still being posted to.

Thanks djg the second sticky called "lipo fires are real" was enough for me I'll be avoiding them completely. Being a 3.7v project being boosted to 5v I think a small capacity of 700 to 1200 mAh will do so I'll look at a 18350 or 16330 li ion
