Contentious??
I have 9 sets each (I1P, P3P) that I charge in my home office only when I'm present working. And a fire extinguisher nearby.
I would never argue Lipos won't start fires (plenty of videos available) and anecdotal evidence, but it is not that common or we'd see houses and apartments going up in flames regularly started by Lipos. I just don't believe we need to build a fortified bunker to charge batteries safely.
Common sense rules; inspect batts and discard any that appear damaged or swelled, never ever leave a Lipo charging unattended.
