So I saw a reddit post the other day where someone had a Milwaukee battery explode in their toolbox overnight and it got me thinking.
I've only got three batteries, they're probably 5+ years old but still work great. They're pretty much always at my shop 20 miles away from my house. On the off chance one of those did go up in flames I'd basically be screwed as most of my money is in all of the tools and machinery at my shop along with my truck.
Just thinking you guys might help be brainstorm a good way to store these batteries from a fire safety standpoint.
Currently I was thinking of using a bigger ammo can I have and removing the gasket from it so in the event of a fire it won't turn into a bomb.
Not sure if maybe it would be wise to drill some extra vent holes or maybe line the box with some fire retardant material? Or maybe I should get a box for each battery instead of three in one box.
Just kind of spit balling here, what do you guys think?
