I have this crazy idea of storing (and charging) batteries inside a metal container. Like an ammo box.
A battery fire should not burn hot enough, especially with limited oxygen, to melt steel, right?

A flame thrower eh? I guess all those flammable goods safety cabinets in the world are flame throwers too...DanGT86 said:You are probably right. But then it becomes a flame thrower.

Listen to Dogman Dan and only charge batteries where you don't mind a fire happening. It's also a good idea to store your bike and battery under a fire blanket. That way if a fire does start it might not spread so far or fast. Think of it as cheap insurance.
