Have had a couple overheat and spontaneously combust. This is from personal experience. No balance charging. Only over voltage and overheating protection. The problem does manifest if you try and charge up a flat Li battery. These are very sensitive batteries with high energy capacity vs volume and weight.

Just keep them away from any valuable entity, to be safe...Good luck.

Interesting. When they combusted did they smoke or burst into flame? If so , did that cause the rest of the pack to combust? How did you put the fire out?

Run... Fusck the fire.

Some smoke. some melt. Others flames.

You just need to cool them down. To stop any fire from spreading. Keep any combustable substances away. The batteries don't burn too long on their own. They do exceed 1000 degrees if I remember correctly but in a very small area.

** Bump. I'm still in need of about 2-3 old/used/unneeded laptop batteries. Anyone still have any?

Many thanks
