[Elecraft] Fire in the house li-ion

[Richard Fjeld]

Thank you very much for this advice.

I have often heard of fires due to Li-on batteries, but I have no idea of the nature of the ‘fire’.  In other words, do  they burn, or do they explode scattering ignited fragments.

Knowing this would help in finding a safe container for charging them.  It is not practical to always avoid leaving  them unattended while charging.

 I’d like to know more about the bag someone mentioned, and if cooling is a problem.

Rich, n0ce

Guys,

I want to give you a advice, my shack it (was) in the basement (cellar??) I do all my thing for the hobby there.
A collega of mine asked me to take a look at two Go-Pro LI-Ion accu's because they where not loading anymore.
