Guys, I want to give you a advice, my shack it (was) in the basement (cellar??) I do all my thing for the hobby there. A collega of mine asked me to take a look at two Go-Pro LI-Ion accu's because they where not loading anymore.
So I put the first one on the loader for 8 till 9 hours and checked it and it was ok ( with 10% loading current) Then I dit put the second one in same place at 10 in the morning at 3 my daughter called me there is a fire. We rusted to the cellar but I could not enter it was filled with dark smoke. My shack is gone and 90 % off my house, I have insurance don’t now if it is enough to cover all of my Elecraft stuff My K1, my own build K2 my K3 and my KX3 are gone, I found my K1 in 20 cm off water really down under, I clean’t it with fresh water. After that flushed it with pure alcohol. It is completely taken apart today as far as is possible. I Hope it will survive I will let it dry for a lot of day’s My K2 is melted the same as my P3 and my K3 perhaps I can order the outside of both, but a am still not allowed to enter the basement so I don’t know how it looks at the inside. So finale the message is please take care with li-ion accuse battery’s. It did cost me our house in 1 hour. http://www.nhnieuws.nl/nieuws/206119/bewoner-vlucht-met-dieren-pand-uit-vanwege-grote-brand <http://www.nhnieuws.nl/nieuws/206119/bewoner-vlucht-met-dieren-pand-uit-vanwege-grote-brand> Regards William Pe1bsb ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
