I like using Lithium-Ion batteries in a variety of sizes. But having read about the possibility of fires, I have moved my spares to a metal ammo box. My flashlights are metal. Cell phones and such are not metal so I try to keep them away from flammables when unattended.
However, I noticed you said 'Lithium' not Lithium-ion. Consumers have been using Lithium batteries for years. Dick, n0ce On 1/16/2017 2:29 AM, jonlevy73 wrote: > Had some Lithium AA fail.
