As a newbie I appreciate this constructive tip in an lenghty discussion. I have considered an SkyRC 100 (for safe faster charging and storage purposes) but with additional cables it's pricier than the DY3. Besides faster charging might be risky. Decent, as in it does it's job I gather?
Danger of Lipos and the crappy supplied charger

I use the DY3 for almost two years now. Thingie doing a good job, only issue is that one sometimes need to wiggle the batt a bit while inserting, for flawless contact.
The primary reason to make the slight additional investment in a charger like the SkyRC 100 is the ability to easily monitor your IR levels, as well as the flexibility of charging more than one type of battery.
Thanks everybody! I might just stick with the simplest solution an DY5 charger - and I must admit that I made the mistake of mixing up the DY3 and 5 (its the DY5 for the H+ batteries; it's an H+ i bought). Regarding storage, well, one could always use an unused cast iron stove with chimney for ventilation.I once (in 'scientifical' purpose) bent a lipo from a bricked cellphone, a relevation since I quickly learned not to mess with lipos. Again tnx!
