[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 351907, member: 7956"] Nah LW, it was a RC battery, Lithium polymer, different to lithium ion found in most tool batteries. I won't use them anymore. It was in one of those upright aluminum tool boxes you see on traybacks, the pressure built up enough to blow the door open, I was in the car and heard an almighty BANG! After seeing flames I jumped out, grabbed the extinguisher and nailed it. being down in the toolbox it was a fairly confined area so it was put out pretty easily, closed the door and on my way again, pulled up at a safer spot and dumped the smoldering battery in a bucket of water. All up considering what it damaged I'm only out about $200 so that's pretty good considering. Edit, those dry chem type dump out a very fine powder which gets EVERYWHERE, dunno how but it's even in the top shelf, right at the back, when I was just spraying down the bottom cavity area.
