damn and I thought I was really paranoid. You might need to see someone about that senpai
Jayden Reed
just don't leave that shit plugged in and charging while you're not watching it you'll be fine
Levi Davis
So can the gasoline and numerous aerosols I keep in the garage. Unless you bend or puncture your lithium batteries, it probably wont ignite on its own.
Tyler Adams
batteries don't really explode at random very frequently, they usually show signs of damage beforehand, heating, expanding, etc. Just don't charge devices that have screens popping off because their battery turned into a balloon.
Ryder Kelly
I leave my unprotected 18650s charging overnight next to my bed, close to my phone, which would probably be charging too. Also, lithium fires are self sustaining and don't need oxygen to burn.
Brandon Morales
>all it takes is a single electrical short >implying rats aren't gnawing at your house wiring right now
but this is legitimate paranoia what if this happens when you're not at home one day? either cause it was overcharged or the weather was too hot, or the chemistry fails for unknown reasons youtube.com/watch?v=pizFsY0yjss
Sebastian Watson
Just build your house out of concrete and steel, problem solved.
sometimes phones have self combusted burning their owners, probably the battery had been knocked around a bit when the phone gets dropped, or the batteries are from a defective batch sometimes when you hear about a warehouse fire on the news, I wonder if someone left their charger plugged in overnight or some cheapo chinese electronic from ebay went kaput
thats why I'm considering keeping all battery objects together so I can check on them more easily
>lithium fires are self sustaining and don't need oxygen to burn. that is what I was curious about, cheers it won't be able to burn through a stainless steel box though, but it may burn all the other valuable electronics I store in there... hrmmm what to do
Bentley Price
it's not paranoia when there are actual risks/dangers/threats
Jace Cook
lithium batteries don't just ignite out of nowhere. only way for that to happen is if they get punctured like that note 7 incident.
it's only actual danger if you are retarded at storing batteries.
Alexander Collins
/Thread.
Alexander Jackson
Reminder that if you threw out a lithium battery in the trash, some poor animal found it at the dump and chewed on it and suffered acidic burns.
Owen Hill
Good. That animal had no right to go snooping in my trash.
Isaac Foster
With all the streets we have, you can get killed or become disabled, and that has a higher chance of happening.
With all the complexities in your biology and all the microorganisms interested in eating your body's substance, you can even just start to die at any moment.
Don't be retarded about either storing OR charging your lithium batteries, and you'll probably be fine in that regard. You also can be not retarded about streets. The last thing... well, you'll die from it sooner or later. Maybe you're already by the time you read this.
Joseph Long
It could have been a poor hungry dog just looking for something to nibble on, leaky lithium batteries smell like skittles.
Christopher Mitchell
all those things are avoidable lithium batteries requires me to trust some random chink halfway across the planet that there's no problems with it
Justin Lewis
But now there is one less stray dog in the streets. If it was so hungry, he should have found someone to take care of him or do what we do if we don't want to starve: get a job.
Aaron Cruz
is this what you tell yourself to be blissfully ignorant?
"I have a 1 in 10000 chance of getting hit by lightning, so playing in thunderstorms is ok"
Nathan Watson
You do realize civilised countries force the industry to take care of the produced trash?
Jack Sanchez
LITHIUM BATTERIES HAVE MULTIPLE FAIL SAFES IN ORDER TO AVOID CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THE LIKES OF WHICH YOU BELIEVE TO BE COMMON
YES, THEY CAN INDEED EXPLODE IN RARE CASES, JUST LIKE A MOPED CAN INDEED EXPLODE UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES, YET YOU DO NOT FEAR THE MOPED
CAPS
Luke Perry
really? they have these fail safes if they're made in china? which most lithium batteries come from
thats the whole point of the thread numbnuts, to think of ways to mitigate a worst case scenario, and so far I haven't heard a single useful suggestion, maybe you faggots aren't really that smart
Henry Martinez
you're admitting that you know fuck-all about them fear of the unknown and all that nobody is taking your paranoia seriously
Joshua Wilson
do you know anybody personally who has had their house burned down due to a Chinese lithium battery ?
James Adams
do you know anyone personally who has been eaten by a shark?
people have died from dodgy chinese electronics
I'm trying to look into the unknown while you faggots are all: IT'S SAFE, DONT THINK ABOUT IT, TRUST CHINESE BATTERIES, THEY HAVE GOOD SAFETY
Lincoln Miller
your moped won't explode in your garage when nobody is home, and if it did, there's probably nothing that it would incinerate
if your moped explodes when you're out and about, just get off it
Isaiah White
>if they're made in china Good luck finding one that wasn't made in china
Charles Hughes
thats my point how can you be sure they are safe
Christian Fisher
only the soft batteries that every modern device with non removable battery has. those do weird things if they get damaged.
Ian Martinez
a lithium ion battery is essentially non-functional without the fail safes force any use on it without a fail safe and you'll get a ballooned battery regardles of how flawless the battery is.
Aaron Stewart
people rarely go mear sharks everyone has at least one device using a lithium cell shit analogy
Ethan Adams
You have more to worry about from MOVs in old power strip UL1449v1 (pre-1996ish) that can burst into flames or UL1449v2 (pre-2009) that can smolder through the plastic housing and ignite what's under it.
"escalators dont eat people, people ride on escalators all over the world without any danger"
unless you're in china where there's no engineering standards, and where the batteries come from
Jace Butler
that shit is made by china amd used by china if they want a product exported they would have to go through international standards even cheap-ass smartphones don't fuck around with standards if their primary purpose is to be sold elsewhere
Parker Hill
It wasn’t something I actively thought about until pic related happened.
this is totally false, there's loads of crappy chinese made electronics being exported, I had a chinese vacuum cleaner almost catch fire within one week of use
gas stoves dont turn on by themselves, the worst that could happen is you have a gas leak and something sparks, but this is your own negligence
electric ones can possibly fuck up if the wiring is dodgy
Kayden Collins
Real talk, any horror stories of insects eating the body from the inside™? Asking for a fellow human friend.
Jordan Hernandez
as someone that has been around lithium batteries for over a decade due to an interest in RC cars i already have a built in respect for them so i am not really paranoid about them. i learned my lesson back when i was a kid watching my favourite RC car burn to a crisp because of my lack of care and from then on i only became more cautious with them and have never had an accident since.
Jace Robinson
>but this is your own negligence >gas pipe splitting or damaged is always my fault >battery getting punctured and shorting then blowing up is always the batteries fault
Looks like a chinese government surveillance device
Andrew Parker
you are retarded. they dont explode so easely, just keep them away from paper or something, kys
Brandon Moore
>what are circuit breakers
Jackson Bell
>whats your battery management plan? I don't own even a single battery-powered device. Stop hoarding shit you don't need and spare yourself such worries.
Justin Peterson
>put electronics with lithium batteries in steel filing cabinet >house doesn't burn down That was hard.
Joshua Rodriguez
where do people buy filing cabinets these days? everyone has gone paperless
Angel Flores
something similar happened with a random battery a few months ago that got me thinking
Jose Mitchell
Is this anal beads with us chargers for the worms in your ass?
Leo Hernandez
>everyone has gone paperless not really
Blake Hill
Thats a Gift from intel for loyal goys
Chase Bailey
I noticed my old phone's battery was expanding, so I removed it and now it's sitting in a sandwich bag. How quickly should I get rid of it? The battery is at least 8 years old.
I have at least 4 18650s charging at all times in my house even when I'm away, my house burned down only 12 times this year so nothing to worry about really, unless tours a poorfag or a middle-classfag.
John Bell
>leaky lithium batteries smell like skittles. Explains a lot.
