as for the lexus driver i think he was using lith ions but for the rs4 and that chair, they were polys. they can bloat as you said but they have been know to vent fire more often than they leak. i am not saying that i am al knowing on this matter, i just want to make sure that these people know that this stuff happens. the fire in the pix the guy says he did everything that he was told, he didnt use to high an amp rating, he used the right charger for the batts and it still happened. i have been to some airplane forums and they suggest either recharging them in a fireproof lock box or rig a bag of san above the batteries so if they catch fire it will melt the bag and smother the fire. just a couple of ideas
