As many lithium ion battery fires as I've seen stories of you'd think there would be mass cries to ban them. Its almost as if this country is half filled with hypocrites or something.

They burst into flame because of all the carbon emissions they store inside. It's hard work saving the planet.

When doing work at Tractor Supplys Dist in Pendelton a picker dropped her scanner down into a conveyor drive gearbox. the only way to get it out was to crush it and pull it out in chunks.
It was amazing how much heat and smoke those batterys held.

Thanks Denney....

I'm just sayin.... If these batteries were something only used by non leftists these batteries would have been banned years ago.

The dogs just stand there. The least they could have done was to attempt to extinguish the blaze

I am sure glad they do not put these in cars or trucks.. WOW could you imagine if a vehicle would suddenly burst into flames..

Oh. The humanity... you and phylo were both on the same trail. And you're both right.

After a few hours of being home alone, my dog could have lifted his leg and put out that fire by himself. But I taught him the value of personal responsibility.

Nor laptops. Nor cell phones. Nor string trimmers. Nor picatinny rail-mounted flashlights. Ah, for the good old days of super duper efficient NiCad batteries.

I'm too pessimistic to own an EV, E-bike or Tesla Powerwall.

At least those fires stay out when you put them out.

That's why I switched to an ICE powered cell phone.

Oh sure, it's a little noisy, but that's a small price to pay for safety!

Dang, putting me to shame with my hamster powered computer.
