Container loaded with discarded lithium batteries catches fire enroute to port
Lithiums are nothing to treat carelessly. Friend of mine had a good quality drone battery catch their room on fire. Could not put out the battery, had to scoop it and put it outside until it stopped. The only reason it didn&#x27;t burn the house down was due to flame retardant materials things are made out of nowadays and they caught it fast enough.<p>Manufacturing by it&#x27;s nature has defects, get metal containers for your lithium charging and don&#x27;t cheap out on batteries. If you have old lithium batteries from laptops, drones, etc, dispose of them at a local transfer station properly. Or at a minimum locate them in something metal that has a lid in an area where open flame would not readily catch something on fire.
