Odd/End Questions

the fact that they could ignite worried me, and i wouldn't recommend the water treatment either, although i did take my lil bucket of em out the shelf, and left it sitting in the middle of the shop floor for tonight. At least, maybe there, if worse were to be, I'd only find a scorched place there.



I've read in other threads for the larger ones to tape the connecting ends before shipping

from Lenovo website: See (1)

CAUTION: There is a danger of an explosion if the backup battery is incorrectly replaced. The lithium battery (IBM P/N 02K6572 UL-recognized component [file no. MH12210]) contains lithium and can explode if it is not properly handled or disposed of. Replace only with a battery of the same type. To avoid possible injury or death, do not: (1) throw or immerse the battery into water, (2) allow it to heat to more than 100°C (212°F), or (3) attempt to repair or disassemble it.

Guess I wasn't the only one with a can full of batts sitting in the middle of the floor last night. And the water thing was just a joke. The thing im wondering is if and when they did explode would a heavy piece of metal on the top be blown off, or would it be good enough to suffocate a possible fire. Honestly never really crossed my mind before.
