Okay, I heard this from Flashsp-2(motor guy) that bridging the + and - contacts(underside of pcb) will work as a switch bypass, NO!
I did this, having the feeling the liths would blow up.

Okay, I just tried this, and what do you know!
The LiPo's got so hot for a split second, I ripped them out of the board and threw them in my fire escape, and I accidentally locked myself out of my house; a quick reminder for those using lithium, be careful!

Leave the switch on...
After 15 minutes, they were inflated, but didn't pop.
I now will not run LiPo anymore, it isn't fun like this, so I will continue to use Li-ions for now(less chance of blowing).

Just a friendly reminder kids...
