In reading about LiPo batteries the information is that they are less likely to have thermal runaway due to the polymer electrolyte. You specify that it is more subject to burning in 'extreme' circumstances.

Are both of these statements true? In other words, in normal operation LiPo have an advantage as they are more resistant to thermal runaway than the usual lithium battery version but worse for fire if damaged than the lithium/nickel/cobalt? This seems illogical once a fire starts in either but I'm no chemist.
