lol, I try to keep the forums aimed at the 99% of the community.
That’s why there’s a bit of pushback.
Otherwise yes, some of us do different things.

I was mostly joking with 3. I used to have a explosives license years ago for making fireworks and know how to safely handle all sorts of things that go boom.
Anyone reading this, don't toss lithium in water, it will get supper hot, catch fire, off gas then go boom. sure its fun but its also a good way to get lithium poisoning. start a fire or lose a finger.

on a side note getting a explosives license is way way to simple, or was was back when I had it.

EDIT:
I just realized you signature is a hex code for boardsort.com

;)

If the battery looks like a baseball and about to go I’ll deal with it myself. But I have 50 pounds of MagOut fire blankets to put out reactive metal fires, titanium coated kiln bowl, and years of experience.
Blankets on the ground, bowl in the middle, battery in the bowl. And fire a nail from a nail gun from 20feet away.
After the puff and burst, flip the towel over the top with custom made grippers.

Then the next day the remains go in a sealable hazmat bucket and I pay for recycling the remains.

But anything larger than a small cellphone removable battery I have a paid service for explosive and fire suppression buckets that I ship to the recovery company via FedEx. And the paperwork to do so is extensive.

Do fire blankets work with lithium fires? I keep a Lith-Ex fire extinguisher for the off chance a lithium battery goes pop, I heard good things about using water mist extinguisher too for the fire, but IDK about that.

ohh and funny scary story time. My wife is form a 3rd world county and I spent a lot of time over seas, there are a lot of shops over there that offer a lithium battery pooping service where all they do is poke the battery with a needle and let if off gas and tape it up.

Mine are designed for metal fires, specifically magnesium. But my goal is to be able to protect the surrounding areas,
Not extinguish. We have class D extinguishers for that.




They do this stuff all over Asia. Never tried it, never will. I’ll just get a new battery thanks moving on.
