Battery safe

[JU_88]

Well, lithium battery explosions are pretty rare. Nothing is without its risks I suppose.

I have always stored mine in plastic press seal bags in the refrigerator, always work 100% with virtually no loss over time, these are years old.
BTW, fridges are generally very dry.

You are kidding me...?! Lithium batteries in the refrigerator...??

That goes against everything that is usually said about it, plus that a cold lithium battery looses up to 40% of its capacity as long as it has niot warmed up again. In winter my bike battery loose 1/4 - 1/3 of their normal capacity, due to the cold (the battery cannot spend all of the storeed power if it is cold, it is a temporary effect only, but still limits the range of the bike). Also, the usual advice is to not store them below 10°C, since long storage below that mark could reduce their longevity in lifetime.

Below 10°C, on bike I pack my battery in neopren to support it defeating the cold (it warms itself over time when spending power, of course, but their is still wind form driving, and mopisture, rain, snow cooling it from the outside).

You are kidding me, right?

No, once out of the fridge I let them warm up to room temp, (this is Australia) never had a problem, would be different if I froze it!! Hmm, I wonder!

Edit: Just took a 3.7v Li battery out after being in there over a year, measures 3.75v

I'm perplexed, I admit.

First time I ever heard this. I dont say you tell not the truth, I am just perplexed.

They grow in jhumbers due to the spreading of bikes, rollers, ecars - and Surface tablets made by Microsoft.

Fire brigades conduct special training courses for their firefighters as well. I think, honestly said, the problem gets talked down and hidden by interested circles in politics and industry. And by Boeing and Microsoft anyway.

Anyway, since nobody comes up with a better idea, I think I go with the ammo box. Should be sturdy and air-tight, if the rubber seals still are "fresh". But the box in the bathroom on a ceramics plate and away from bunring stuff, and thats how far I am willing to go with security regarding batteries. I will not buy a second safe just to put batteries into it.

Well unfortunaley their replacement is still being touted at the hydrogen fuel cell battery, which we dont have yet because depite their green efficency, they are even more 'explodey.'

But our planet may be running abit low on lithium in the not too distant future, so they better hurry up.
