Looks like my general policy of never charging batteries on something flammable is going to have to be modified to not charging batteries near something flammable.
Like, what the heck, there were long jets of burning stuff spurting out of the battery. It was like it was designed to light the place on fire on a failure.
- maxerickson 9y agoI was helping my mom deal with her phone that was injured in a crushing accident and treated the damn thing like a hazard (stuck it outside on the driveway in a water resistant container to wait to go to the store the next day). I was quite surprised that the employees didn't think anything of the potential for a damaged battery.
- agumonkey 9y agomy 2 cents: they never had to deal with battery venting into fire. when that happens to you once, you don't even think twice about precautions
