357 Lithium coin battery blows up in my face!

I am going to remove an outside the spring bypass.

Since my mishap — I have a new outlook on battery safety —- all prying and disassembly is done outside with safety glasses on

Most people don’t realize — a mishap with a driver spring penetrating a vent hole can cause serious problems — I really like some type of brass washer / button on the driver side — the negative side is highly unlikely to cause a problem

I know what you’re thinking. Did he use six batteries or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself.

“You’ll shoot yer eye out!”

wow, never seen a coin cell blow up before, never knew they have enough kick to actually blow up.

How did they happen?

Geez. Lighten up Francis. Did you not even realize that it is a play on the lyrics of Purple Haze?

Yeh, “’Scuse me, while I kiss this guy.”

Never quite understood that part.

LOL, the ’scue me, was ALSO a great comment that reflects Hendricks music, and I’m sure they don’t mean any disrespect. I appreciate the heads up brother and glad you kept all of your body parts, because possibly there go I if you hadn’t clued me in. THANK YOU.

Now lets talk exploding Eneloops….wow.

He was truly ahead of his time.

It’s called heavy drugs. The people that take heavy drugs claim it makes them more creative. Personally, I think its clear evidence of dead brain cells.

I take it you didn’t like Hendrix

There is a precedent!

The classic blues tune by Elmore James entitled “the sky is crying” features a turn around in the last lyrical passage and the title phrase becomes “this guy is crying”.

Looks like the screwdriver blade shorted between the positive edge and negative center of one of the cells. It is amazing just how dangerous even these tiny lithium ion cells are. Thank you for sharing your story.

“Experimenting” with using AA in a camping shower designed to use D cells.
In the joy of experimentation concentration slipped away and I put them in backwards; smoke and sizzle ensued :disguised_face:

Always with the negative waves, Moriarity. Always with the negative waves…

I hear it that way plain as day every time even though I know it’s supposed to be “while I kiss the sky”

I know, I know. It was a joke. Like the funny kind, only different.
