I have quite a colleciton Lithium-Ion-batteries by now, for my cameras, for my computer deivces, for my e-bike... Most of the time thew thigns are noit in use, and I cosnidered it to be a good diea to store them in a way that maybe in case of one of them going off the damage by fire and blast would be contained. Problem is I find vwery different informaiton on how hot suchn fires would burn if they get enozgh oygene to really go off in a blast and keep burning.

I considered a cash box like this at first:
https://www.amazon.de/HMF-108-02-Gel...CYZ80HZYJZSJPY

It is big enough to also house an old 10" tablet.

Then I got the idea to save my e-bike batteries as well, and the only solution I found for that, are ammunition boxes. Like this one:

Has anyone a better idea?

I think about kind of a sand or granulate, made of glass, ceramics or clay (as used in gardening), to protect the box against heat at the bottom. Again: any better ideas?

And has anyone the definite word on how hot a lithium fire burns once a battery went off? I found answers ranging rom 1400 to almost 2000° Celsius. How dependent is a lithium fire on oxygene? Does any of these boxes, does my whole idea even make sense at all? Or would any of these boxes just melt in no time?
