Just heard firsthand from some folks who live near us: a relatively new, brand-name, from-Lowes lithium battery for a mower/weedwhacker caught fire in their attached garage, in the middle of the night. They woke up to 3' of nasty smoke hanging from the ceiling and were unable to put out what looked like a small fire. Everyone (including the cat - who didn't come home for 42 days) got out safely, but the house was a total loss. 😢
So...what are some best practices for battery safety?
