Can You Safely Charge NiMh or LiFe R/C Batteries Unattended?

While everybody knows that you must keep steady attention and eyes on them when charging a R/C LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery. But we had a listener ask us if it was okay to let NiMh (Nickel Metal Hydride) or LiFe (Lithium Phosphate) batteries charge unattended. So in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast We go over the physics and chemistry of these batteries and the potential dangers (if they exist) of charging them unattended. We also give you the safest way to charge all three radio controlled model vehicle battery types.
