Love it. Grab a burning metal assembly, pick it up, carry it a dozen feet through your house and throw it . . . somewhere else. Neighbor's yard? Side of your wooden house? Brush next to your house?Mart76 said:My advise. Throw the battery out the window if possible or out into the open, get far away and call for help.
Charging (and indeed storage) is best done in a metal container. Ideally that metal container can be flooded with water if needed to reduce the violence of the fire. You can't put out a lithium cell fire, but with enough water you can keep neighboring cells from lighting off. And for large batteries, the water will prevent a melt-through of the container. (More of a risk for aluminum containers of course.)
