Good Afternoon, Sir Cornett. Hope you and your family are well. I would like to chime in on Lithium-Ion Batteries. I have been meaning to write you about this subject since Easter, as our house, cars, training material, and most everything we had burned down (up?) the night before Easter at approximately 8:20 PM, all because of a short in a battery charger on an electric mobility scooter. State Farm Insurance hired an investigator to determine the cause, and it was the battery in the scooter which started the fire. Lithium-ion batteries are used in homes and mines daily, powering portable tools such as drills, impact wrenches, saws, etc. The takeaway from this is – don’t leave lithium-ion batteries in the charger indefinitely. Gentle Ben’s Safety Tips are:
We know God was watching out for us, and we got out to continue His great works. My next-door neighbor, who recently sold his sand mine, told me that about two (2) minutes after my wife, dogs and I exited our front door, the ceiling fell in. Had the event occurred later in the evening, we most likely would not have survived.
Please share this with your readers if you think it valuable.
Best Regards. Ben
Thanks for the share, Gentle Ben!
