NOTE: I locked this thread (where we discussed the idea of having a thread) and started a fresh NEW Thread here for you to post in: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=47012
As we start 2013, and with the discussions on another thread raging, I thought it would be beneficial to have a dedicated, "sticky" thread where there was only a post or two by the person that had a problem or personally witnessed a Li battery problem that resulted in a "catastrophic" event, AKA "fire."
I think the post should have pictures, if possible, and then a summary of findings after the evaluation. I also think this summary post should reference an open discussion thread on the incident where we can all jump in with opinions, analysis, and Monday morning quarterbacking the event.
This will provide a focus for new Li battery users, and an archive of catastrophic issues. If we continue it over the years, we will have documented evidence if we are getting safer in our designs and implements or not.
So take the poll below. Add comments if you think this is a good idea or not. Then in a few weeks, if you think it is stupid, I'll lock the thread and let it die. If you think it is a good idea, I'll clean up the thread (delete the comments) and let it hang out there for the year as a sticky.
