- Lithium ion batteries are being blamed for a rise in battery-related fires in our area, and these batteries are more common than you may think. CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff reports.
why wont fire extinguishers work? What can people do instead? I think more info needed, I aint leaving my house to burn and lose all my shit
Exactly
there are fire extinguishers rated for electrical fires. Used in places with electric go karts as an example
You need an F 500A extinguisher
i know its been a year but smothering with sand works. These things are so crazy though they can burn underwater.
Because the chemicals in the battery react with the oxygen so your extinguisher will not work or will just the combustion for a short time.
Don't plug your batteries when there hot or have just been used !! Let them cool at room temperature for atleast 30 minutes or more ..It prolongs the life and less risk of fire 🔥 Don't plug them and leave the house or go to bed 😴 Stay safe
Bucket of sand puts out lipo fires, we use them in our model car racing club
What’s a lipo fire ?
can a lithium ion battery fire burn through porcelain tiles
And that is why I stopped buying batteries (and other delicate products) in places like Amazon and eBay
Mostly everything just start a fire as they say but put it like a timer on them or when battery's fully charged the charger automatically turns off the time we living got technology to provide that
some of this battery are not balance/old/diy bad cells and list goes on.... when battery get old they swell and expand a lot of people dont know that and just keep running it...some charger cables also broke and fraying causing shorts ... im a tech and i been dealing with lithium for over 15+ years and only fire i had was a small 200ma 1s cell because i was stupid haha i knew it was going to not like being charge high amps but it was just a 1s and i was next to it all the time and blew up like a pack of matches and it stinks
should of said sand is a good way to put these out so its always a good idea to keep a bag at your charging area
Are you sure ?
@@RitchieCollins yep, its hard to do alot with these batteries but smothering with sand works.
"Li"tium battery should be careful. Thanks
Do not over charged your phone,specially overnight. If it falls do not charge it right away. You dropped water ,take off the charger let it dry out.
Keep a god dam fire extinguisher at home.
And not a water one.
I prefer to use the Biden method of putting out a fire. I use gas.
Class D will be the best one. Right?
@@charlessmith263 sand is better for lipos imo but yes a class d would be the best as its for combustible metals like lithium
You never leave lithium ion or lipo batteries around with out being stored and charged in a lipo safe bag or lipo safe box!
City needs to check Public Garages.....EVERY public garage near Astor Place rents out space for Ebikers who charge their batteries overnight.
Looks like we have a little snitch informant here - looking to get a hero medal.
but the point of the video was to get people to pay attention when charging these batteries, not have you take your item elsewhere and make it someone elses problem. you shouldnt leave anything charging over night.
@@shadowsilverlight1651 I unplug everything whenever I leave the house - houses built from wood are not good for peace of mind.
I love how their last statement is “these batteries are safe if charged properly blah blah blah… they are not safe people!!!
If they’re fully discharged, it’s fine. You can throw them away.
Yeah don't charge your Tesla to 100%, you might total your car.. 😂
We are forced of letting litium time bomb in our life.
I bet they come from China
Nearly everything is manufactured in China..
All the good batteries are made in China. All the bad batteries are made in China. All the batteries are made in China.
