HFS!  That is amazing.  Did you have any kind of power surge at your home?  I didn't think this thing had enough juice in it to produce this type of heat.  That, and it's nowhere near air-tight, so to actually explode means the temperature REALLY peaked!  + t for your troubles, and good luck with M-audio.

Stealthers, beware

+T for not needing an ambulance or fire truck.

Did it look a little something like this?: http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~gdodds/rcstuff/movies/lipofire_1.wmv

...or this: http://www.helihobby.com/videos/LithiumBattery.wmv

Damaged Lithium batteries are not cool (pun not originally intended).

Keep in mind similar batteries are also used in ipods...now that could make my train commute more interesting.

Part of the 1.4.0 firmware update:

User Interface change:

While charging with the unit in the Application, the battery icon will contain the letters CHG. This will remain until the battery voltage reaches 100% and remains there for one hour. At that time, the CHG will be replaced with a plug icon (indicating it is plugged in and supplying power but no longer charging the battery). This one hour ‘timer’ will be reset only if power is removed for longer than 3 minutes (which will prevent the unit from overcharging if the power is removed and returned for short periods of time).

Seriously though, I really hope this doesn't mean they're overcharging the battery for an hour.

WOW.......You were lucky more damage did not occur...I would be calling them Monday morning ready to SCREAM ...I'm glad I sold mine and ordered an R-9......But then again I have five ipods and countless other devices with lith-ion batteries....I just check my fire extinguisher...

Man if that thing was in your pocket at a show it could have been pretty nasty..

:veryevil:

Peace

Thats what happens when you go into clip its really better then any clip light out there it really gets your attention it starts off with a warm fuzzy feeling at around -4db  then builds up pressure at around 0 db but at +1 it does a flaming school house thing that beats any 4th of july fireworks display I have ever seen.

Yes it was late when I wrote that.
Maybe it is interesting to know the serial number of the unit if that info is still around?
Maybe firmware version?
