Guys you DO need the cutoff circuit to prevent a fire. The batteries can heat up way faster than NiCAD or NiMH and heat isn't a good pre-fire warning. Also if they do catch fire, the smoke that comes off of them is really nasty toxic stuff that you really don't want to be handling without proper training and equipment, not to mention the possibility of burns.

Buy the protection circuit.
