Without being funny, can we please not go down the road of who's the most qualified? ..... it's every man to his own trade & they are all equally important.
I just happen to know about battery chemistry .... Blue knows how to install double glazing, Garry used to be a plumber & an industrial troubleshooter ...... we all have our trades .... non is better than the other.

I think this deserves a look!

This is what I keep and transport LiPo's in (old army ammunition box) waterproof and almost bomb proof. These measure 280mmx180mmx95mm
Available from the well known auction site for about a tenner each, search for 'ammunition box'.

Cautionary note!!!

Charging some 3S2200 lipo's just now, in the conservatory, while I was making a sandwich for lunch, when I heard an intermittent popping sound, like someone flexing a bit of baking foil.
-
Quick glance at my batteries - looked ok. (click!) hmm, that doesn't sound right!
Touched each of the four batteries, in turn - one was significantly hot!!
Hastily unplugged it, and chucked it down the garden path to cool off!
-
Moral - never ever leave charging batteries unattended!
