I still would think twice about doing DIY battery work in a multi-family unit. I wanted to get into FPV drones but reading about the concerns with battery charging and issues with minor damage, I decided I had nowhere to safely charge and passed on it.
I haven't looked into it too much, but I'm also curious if your insurance would have a major issue, and if you open yourself to possible criminal/civil legal troubles if you start a fire due to a botched unattended DIY battery setup.
- petre 2y agoWe had a shorted phone battery go off into our workshop. It wasn't fun and we had to evacuate and vent the place for an hour. The smoke is awful. It's best to have a metal bucket of water and a metal shovel to throw the thing inside the bucket and take it outdoors. Easy outdoor access is needed. Using other non igniting chemistries like LiFePo shall mitigate the dangers. LiIon/Poly is too dangerous, to the point that it will get banned as soon as there is a safer replacement.
