July 27, 20232 yr Not a total solution to the problem but as an extra layer of protection what about a slightly modified version of this to put your battery in while charging https://preppersshop.co.uk/genuine-ex-military-50-cal-ammo-storage-box-9154-p.asp Make some holes in it to try and stop it bursting in the event of a flair up. As stated not a total solution but may help to contain any potential problems.
July 27, 20232 yr Still left with a great amount of energy to be dissipated, not sure if endining up with an incandescent steel box to live with, moves one very far safety wise.
July 27, 20232 yr Author Still left with a great amount of energy to be dissipated, not sure if endining up with an incandescent steel box to live with, moves one very far safety wise. Yes I don't see this as a total solution, but having seen some of the videos od batteries going up possibly easier to deal with a box than a flaming open battery
July 27, 20232 yr Author Yes that's correct. I think I mentioned in the first post it's not a total solution, it just seems to offer a little bit more

July 27, 20232 yr To be on a safe side I charge and store batteries outside. Is there a safe temperature range to store batteries? Could it get too hot or cold ?
July 28, 20232 yr This is better solution IMO. To be on a safe side I charge and store batteries outside. On a shovel next to a open window! When in doubt, chuck it out! https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/batteries-charging-routine.45703/page-5#post-687163 Edited July 28, 20232 yr by guerney
July 28, 20232 yr Ammo case (but REMOVE THE SEALS) - seems like a good option in all the tests I have been able to find - LIPO bags don't seem up to ebike batteries Edited July 28, 20232 yr by Peter.Bridge
July 28, 20232 yr Cold doesn't affect storage only charging does , so charging needs to be above freezing in ambient temps . Likewise best to not charge or store in a hot place or near a hot radiator, that said some keep them in the airing cupboard so they don't get a sniffle.
July 28, 20232 yr Author I store mine in a polystyrene box in my garage to even out temperature changes, I charge them every couple of months or so in winter and then drop the voltage down to about 40% with my home made discharger. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/battery-care-over-winter.29959/
