Remember that airsoft batteries are much smaller (fewer cells) than in the videos above. While they can spit fire or pop it wouldn't be as violent as seen in those videos. I think charging a 7.4v battery in an old cooking pot (without lid) would contain any fire as long as there isn't anything flammable too close. 11.1v Li-Po's would need a slightly bigger container but not much. This also shows how important it is to get a GOOD intelligent charger that would stop charging when the battery is full or if there is a problem.

It’s a Win - Win,innit ?

Bloody hell! That was difficult to read.

Less portable than the EG67 ?

I don't care how rare or limited edition it is, £50 for a patch is taking the piss

I'm guessing that either the battery or charger were faulty as batteries don't spontaneously burst into flames for no reason. Batteries should be regularly inspected and binned if damaged or puffy. I charge my batteries at work as it's free electricity and if the worst case senario does happen then it's not my house going up Exactly. While we all post about what should be done I'm sure we're all guilty of cutting corners at some point.

Hello everyone, It's been a while since I used a forum site. Nice to be here and seeing other players discussing and shareing airsoft content. If your ever at Anzio camp or other sites around staffodshire feel free to say hi ?.

Welcome. Good to see someone else here with a love of things that go boom

Welcome Mike ?

How, exactly? Was the battery visibly damaged or puffed? Did he charge at an extreme amperage? Did he use a Nuprol charger? I do agree with the principle though: I charge in a cheap bag in an Explosion Containment Pie Dish at no more than 1C, and often no more than 1A regardless. Note that a battery bag might contain the flames from a typical airsoft battery, or it might not. A (vented) box or a proper Bat-Safe do a better job, but you'll still have a toasty smelling house.

I've had no batteries catch fire or explode, except some nicads back in the 70s which overheated exploded and melted some carpet, in 50 years. I store my batteries in ammo boxes partially charged nowadays, but before that just looked after them, threw away the puffies or physically damaged ones and use a decent charger. I'm also older than you're dad, so lets not use that as any factor in batteries catching fire. 58 being old.. Pah If you have a damaged lipo ( they are only protected by a thin plastic pouch) chuck it. if you have a cheapo charger, chuck it. If you have electrically abused the battery, chuck it. That's how to stop batteries nuking. Don't use old batteries, if you have been using a battery for Airsoft for a year get a new one, you've likely dropped your battery more than once, either in the gun or just being lazy and chucking it on the table. Lipos are soft and will deform if you drop them. I neither charge my batteries attended or place them in a nest of kindling, just use sensible charging currents and a proper balance charger.

Ahoy and welcome.

What exactly was the model of that battery? And charger? Do you know how exactly did it fail? Just wondering would it make any difference if him being inside the house if the battery suddenly burst without warning

Two lawyers walk into a pub. They order a couple of drinks and take their sandwiches out of their briefcases and then they begin to eat them. Seeing this, the angry publican exclaims, “Excuse me, but you can’t eat your own sandwiches in here!” The two lawyers look at each other, shrug their shoulders, and then exchange sandwiches.

Hi and welcome ✋ There's plenty going on here to keep you busy for hours between looking for new toys ?

Friday the 27th of September 2024 my dad old man being 58 put a LI-PO battery on charge, didn’t use the fireproof case to charge it in he had as he completely forgot to do so, what harm could I cause right? It’s just a one off. Being avid air softers as we both are he didn’t see any issue with it as it was only going on charge for say 20 mins so he could test his new RIF. he was smoking a cigarette outside the front door and left it on charge in the kitchen and than heard the smoke alarm. By the time he got back into the kitchen the place was ablaze. Fire brigade had to be called. This was all due to incompetence and negligence on his part. Please people. And all you new guys that play airsoft I implore you all to only charge and store your battery’s in a safe place and always use a fireproof pouch or box to charge your battery’s in. if not, this could be you. Thankfully nobody was harmed but the damage is done and the entire house covered in soot. It’s just not worth the risk.
