I remember in a thread about anodizing, when I explained what the process was, OL brought up the fact that it included Lye, Acid, Electricity - all scary stuff. I was surprised, because that stuff doesnāt scare me one bit. Then I thought about the stuff OL does, why he uses hot flame torches, drills, saws, knives - all very scary stuff too, that didnāt scare him. Then I realized that as long as you know what you are doing - AND you are careful, you will be OK. For most of us, the most dangerous thing we do is drive a car, and we do THAT every day. So in everything we do safety first!
BTW, even so, I just had a close call 30 minutes ago with some Li-ion cells. read my post in the forum topic concerning harvesting some cells from a B&D battery pack bought at Home Depot.
