Li-ion cells: DON'T BUY THEM, DON'T SELL THEM, STAY SAFE!

How to dispose of them? Give them away to a BLFer in need. :wink:

Sometimes I do ....

For pocket carry, but still no keys in the same pocket :smiling_imp:

Or how about these?

Then you can put your batteries and your keys in the same pocket.

Old news…

Methinks OP forgot to engage SARCASM FONT

Looks like it is back to candles and carbide

Those clear plastic cell holders pop open too easy and are not water proof. I have some Delrin cell carriers with a screw on top that are virtually water proof, countycomm.com carries them. I’ve also made my own from clear polycarbonate. This is the ONLY way a Li-ion cell goes in my pocket, seriously protected. (I do have a spare 10440 on my keychain, in a custom made Titanium and Copper battery bunker made by Photon Fanatic… it is for the Texas Poker I’ve had around my neck for almost 7 years, also by Photon Fanatic, and yes, the battery bunker has had a live cell in it on my keychain in my pocket for 7 years as well)

trade house fires and acetylene gas explosions for venting with flame.

This is not a problem for me. All of my flashlight batteries are made from a couple of coins and a fresh lemon. :sunglasses:

Tesla——-are they really powered by lion? :disguised_face:

carry a spare battery in a nifty protected housing called ....another flashlight . I know it's an outrageous thought !!

If you're careless, lazy and foolish you deserve a good pocket fire to remind you that you're screwing up.

Nothing teaches like experience .

yes i guess… back to carbide and safe acetylene explosive gas, burning wax making fire for light… and burning oil for light fire… we have to toss all our LiIon cells because they are BAD.

Common Sense. and stupidity….

Ne-er the same shall mix.

A staement fron the 1700’s That still holds today.
99.8% of us have been using these battery’s for decades.

Ignore it and keep on. keeping on.
They are as safe as YOUR intelligence.

There have always been people with nothing between their ears.
and always will be.

Just hope you’re not one of them hey….

Chuckle.

On another flashlight forum I’ve seen a photo 3rd degree burn caused by 18650 in a pocket. I’m thankful for the person who’ve showed it - a good reminder to be careful.

This stuff is dangerous. But if you treat it with the care it deserves it’s not too dangerous.

As if the fellow which started the thread is at all listening. Rando is acting like a scarecrow and you/we are like pigeons commenting on the move. Wake up people! Waste no time and keep pecking LoL.

This is a same class thread as the LG video threatening fines and jail time for consumers using their cells. Threads like this need to be ignored or binned, they're really serving no good purpose.

If you, like me, want to continue using li-ion batteries and/or industrial power products what you must do is to continue believing in your right for it to be so vehemently (asking God and/or whatever higher power you believe in). Be responsible, never blame others for your whatever mistakes, and avoid blunders.

Here's a video from Mooch found in Minding Your mAhs Ep026 – Samsung (round) batteries aren’t safe anymore? @ ECF, looks like Samsung is also setting some oversized fine print on their cell wraps:

I took a peek at it, couldn't understand most of what he said. If someone thinks something's worth being mentioned, do so please.

Shaking my head

I ordered 4 30Q batts, and 2 40t batts

Nearly everything is dangerous, one of the most significant dangers is cars, but people have not given up on them yet. :person_facepalming:

I smell a Troll or something weird here. :confounded:
