That is not true. Please don't spread misinformation that could lead to deaths or people losing everything they own.
You can put out a Lithium battery fire with a class-D fire extinguisher. If you don't have one available, you can isolate the burning battery by surrounding it with sand or other inert, dry substances to keep it from spreading until the fire department arrives with proper equipment to dispose of or extinguish it.

- gosub100 1y agoYou forgot having a fume hood, or halon foam system. Or just a silver heat resistant suit and SCBA. Please don't hold back on the pedantry and "you can"s. People might miss these valuable options and not know they can just coexist with the lithium fire right next door!
- Dylan16807 1y agoAre you trying to imply that "sand or other inert, dry substances" are too exotic to be in an average house? Also you can keep things near the battery wet.
- lazide 1y agoSo what, you keep a bucket of sand in your bedroom?
- Dylan16807 1y agoI didn't say it was in the same room. I just disagree with "your only option is to run".
- lazide 1y agoYou’re not making convincing arguments, frankly.
- devmor 1y agoInstead of being upset and lashing out when someone corrects you and offers important advice that can save lives, you can just say "Thank you for the information." - or even say nothing at all.
- gosub100 1y agoThere's no curiosity or intellect featured here anymore. It's just bickering about semantics or pedantry. If that doesn't anger you, great. That's like a toddler saying they don't mind sharing a pool with other kids who urinate in it. That's your preference, not mine. Sorry for rubbing your face in your own drivel.
