Please, please, please, DO NOT cover a battery that is being charged.
This maxim applies to any type of rechargeable battery, not just Lipo's. I suspect the 'smart' type of Lipo batteries would shut off the charging procedure if the battery became too hot. But, as the process of charging generates heat, obstructing the circulation of air to aid dissipation would almost certainly be a recipe for something to end badly!
Common sense, rather than a degree in physics and chemistry, needs to be your primary qualification when storing a battery that has an inherent level of safety built into it, but still has the potential for volatile failure.
