Have you ever used any LiPo chemistry battery?

Doesn't seem to me.

The LiPo packs do not explode when over discharged. They inflate. They can explode on the NEXT charge cycle, or if punctured.

Dell's and Sony batteries are Li-Ion type batteries. Not LiPo. They exploded because there was a flaw in the CHARGING process used to recharge these packs.

The links you gave are refering to faulty use, bad charging, damaged packs and other non-apropriate use.

The ADF link talks about a 3y old pack, and that only 4 failed to work on 30 000. In the last 2 years, LiPos have become a whole lot more efficient and safe.

The RC group link talks about a whole bunch of faulty charging/discharging/damaged pack/over rated packs.

The 12 "Un determined causes" can all be related to missuse or insufficient rating.

Link 5: The pack was way under rated seeing the internal configuration used (a whole lot of packs in parallel, then linked in 2 large blocks). Over-rated.
Link 33: The pack was connected backwards when charging. Read the later posts.
Link 60: The guy left his battery in his car, under full sunlight. He could have left a bomb there, it would have done the same. Overheating.
Link 82: Two packs where left plugged in parallel, mostly discharged. Overdischarge from self-balancing.
Link 92: NO information is provided, causes can be anything.
Link 96: Damaged from shipping, airmail and poor packaging. Damaged pack.
Link 97: Green house effect under a grill lid. Overheat.
Link 101: The guy heated the pack to shrink wrap it. Overheat.
Link 105: Possible puncture of the pack. Possible overheat.
Link 78: The guy plugged a 7.4v pack in parallel to a 11.1v pack. No need to say more. Self balancing and fire.
Link 99: No information provided, story told by a friend of a friend.
Link 110: Different rating packs mixed in parallel setup. Different discharge = Overdischarge of one of the pack.

As you can see. If you READ the stories properly, all have an actual cause, most of the time the user.

You can try all these stupid things with a regular NiCd pack. It will be damaged and can explode.
