[Elecraft] [ KX2] KXBT2 Charger

[MaverickNH]

I put a battery in a steel pan out on the concrete patio and charged
overnight - the LED went Red to Green overnight and the battery was still
cool in the morning, so all went well.

The timer sounds like a good solution for indoor safe charging, but I'll
still do so in a pan on a patio block, just in case...  My son got a little
battery-powered remote control race car many years ago, and the battery
scorched the Formica counter top when it overheated during charging.  So
yeah, those lithiums can be nasty without proper circuitry and care.
