      Tips for lithium batteries:
      Never charge when still hot from use.
      If they're drained too much, do not try workarounds to bypass battery protection to charge them. Drained batteries act like a resistor and will heat up until they may explode.
      Never charge indoors.
      Buy a "battery can" to charge in. This is a steel box with a hole for the charging cable and a hole with a fireproof filter on it. If the battery explodes the can controls the flames and catches some of the smoke.
      The smoke is EXTREMELY toxic.
