I plugged the battery charger lead into a four channel receiver and it went up in smoke. It said BAT which I thought meant battery.

It does. Did you plug it in backwards? I bet you plugged it in backwards. Don't do that.

So if you plug it in backwards it's that easy to kill yourself?

Yes. It does. Why the fuck are you plugging a charger into a port labelled for a battery? Do you not know the difference between the two?

This isn't an RC problem, it's an OP problem. They have a rated input voltage which you should've familiarized yourself with before doing stupid shit.
