I've only just recently gotten more involved in the hobby and all the stories about the danger of LIPO batteries has me a bit freaked out. I have the fancy charger that stabilizes the battery and puts it in storage mode

and the fire-proof (looks like a lunch bag cooler) battery bag

but I'm still just not sure what's the SOP with these things.
For example:
Do I keep the battery in storage condition until I want to use it so I have to freshly charge it every single time?
If I only have 10 or 15 minutes while grilling dinner to screw around with the truck do I have to charge it first, play around, then discharge it/storage condition before going to bed for the night or else the house is going to burn down around me?
If I tuck the battery into its special bag each night is it safe in the house?
I want to have a healthy respect for these things but I've been ignoring the truck because the battery prep hasn't been worth the bother for short bashes around the yard.
Thanks
