Good save. That could have been much worse. 👍

You are lucky you didn't mistakenly kick it under your couch while trying to literally stomp out the fire 🤣🤣

who else has a camera recording their couch at home?

If your battery is remotely swollen find somewhere that will properly dispose of it. Always charge on non flammable surfaces. If you have a garage get a cinder block or two and set the batteries down inside the holes while charging. It will keep any fire contained more or less

That would be so scary, could’ve been a lot of worse. Thank god you guys are ok

The LiPo "Right of Passage" dance 😆

Reason number 500 why I have fire extinguishers in my home. Accidents like this

"Aight. I combust now." -The battery probably.

get well soon. i always charge my batteries in my steel safe box. i think it is one of the safest way

I have a fire extinguisher in every room in my house. After i watched my neighbors house burn down in like 5 mins and after I got kids i dont play around with safety anymore

That fire felt the wrath of his leg 👍

The good news.after breathing all that lithium...you won't need Prozac for the next 40 years...😏

Best purchase I’ve made for my lipos is the fireproof bags they charge and get stored in. They are life savers

Thank God 😮 No buddies are not Hurt

That fire got the Goomba treatment.

Something like this happened to me as well. GOT TO BE SAFE WITH LIPO BATTERIES. Every since my incident I make sure I charge and transport my batteries in lipo bag. My whole Mojave 6S caught on fire prior to a bash. We live and learn, just glad I wasn’t in house and not a kid. PLEASE REMEMBER WATER DOES NOT WORK ON ELECTRICAL FIRES

I usually charge on a concrete slab outside with a lipo bag and I have it in a metal box

I haven't even had my batteries a full 24 hours and I'm charging them outside in a old metal toolbox. Not taking any chances. Especially until I witness battery degradation in person and recognize the signs for my first time. Not just watching them in a video.

and that's why I have a fireproof lipo backpack

Gotta put it in the kevlar bag they recommend

Hi , on the instructions manual very clearly saids , please keep charger unit away from the battery as much as you can. The reason for the manufacturer to bold this statement is fuses , gases from battery . You very lucky man , you quick thinking and intelligence prevent a very serious house fire .

That happens often, right? You have the camera pointing at the right place and look very experienced and calm while kicking that mofu battery... 😂

I used to charge LiPo RC car batteries both indoors and outside regularly back when I was heavily into RC hobbies. One time while camping I had a couple 3 cell LiPo's charging on a plastic table outside of my RV. One caught fire, and we saw it from a distance while out on the Kayaks. Luckely one of my buddies was nearish the trailer and herd us yelling and was able to run over and drag the table away from the RV. Table, both LiPo batteries, and both chargers were destroyed. Half the plastic table was melted. And a small portion of the side of the RV had fire damage to the paint. Had no1 been around I'm sure it would burnt down the RV. Ever since then I always charge outdoors. AWAY from anything that can burn, and I use LiPo bags.

Someone needs to go to the kiddy firemen days in their town. And learn a few things 😂

I always store and charge my Lipo batteries in a amo can and in my opinion, it’s the safest way to do it

That (Yeap good) was so epic 😂😂😂 you're a boss

If that happened in my house, say goodbye to my hobbies. My wife would get pissed at me

This is crazy!! 🤯 Very glad to see you swing in and start putting that lipo to the bottom of your shoe! Very glad you are safe. Search nightstand lockers and get a steel one, it’s been a nice layer of protection when away.

Now im not gonna be able to sleep with my 4 9ah lipos just staring at me while I sleep

He did the correct thing, when a lipo battery cathes on fire, always unplug the battery from the rc car or the charger

I usually charge them outside but if not then I use ammo can with holes drilled in it for wires to go through

The cameras named great room but all we looking at is the couch

Never let your batteries trickle charge past 4.2V

This is why I sold all of of my lipo powered rc.

in my 14 years of using and charging rc lipo batteries ive never had one catch fire even a really puff gens ace battery. it was puffed so much it was splitting the case. my guess is it was drained to low, overcharged, extremely puffed or the wires shorted. from my experience lipos dont spontaneously combust.

thats exactly why i have a fire extinguisher in both floors of my house

I keep my ebike battery on the slab of stone infront of my fireplace. I don't know what it's called. There's an electric outlet 2 feet away. That's where I charge the battery. If it ignites, it's on stone or concrete or whatever that slab is made of

This is terrifying. I know so little about batteries… I don’t know what to look for

You know they bought a charging bag after that

I saw it come from the charger unit, or I’m just stupid, but thank god u guys are good.

I like the syncing of music in Near. Its just good

Man good thing you were home you saved your life quite litterly to

I have an airsoft AEG that came with a "dumb charger" as some people call it. I was unaware about how dangerous dumb chargers can be and once I heard that they can over charge your battery I knew I had to get a smart charger. Thank god you and your family are safe. Hope you are doing well.

Bro extinguished that inferno with sheer violence

Well.. time to get some battery bags😂❤

My god. Move the fucking table. Move the fucking couch. But more importantly, get that thing outside.

Glad you unplugged it. Stomping on a lithium fire seems like it would only make it worse

imagine if you accidentally kicked it under the couch , would have been bad lol.

That man says some oh I can’t get my fever. I don’t care.

That thing's toast... Both literally and figuratively.

That sofa is good. It did not catch fire and spread it fortunately. Be careful next time though.

This happened to me in my parents house!!!! It scared the crap out of me ffs, it was an e-cig battery when they first came out. My fault 100% I used the wrong charger and it went off with an almighty bang about a foot away from me 😂😂. Actually blow a whole in the lament floor 😮😮

The couch had been under suspicion for a while.

Always charge in a fireproof battery bag😮or on concrete and don’t leave those cheap chargers unattended🕵️‍♀️

Battery is now 101% and it's now 0%

what a man, I dont know what id do in that situation

Ive been an rc enthusiast my whole life and I've had this happen a few times with older and cheaper batteries. NEVER charge lipo batteries in normal living areas not only can you risk yourblife but family as well.. and itll stink up your livingroom for weeks... I always charge my batteries on none flammable surfaces like my metal work bench or concrete workbench. Not only did you get away from a massive housefire since you have wood floors and a couch right there im surprised nothing else caught fire!! You can buy thick fireproof mats for dirt cheap or even ceramic ones like in lipo battery bags! They can save you from making a house fire. Glad you're safe.

Recommendation a red steel tool box with zip loc sand bags over lipo battery along with smoke alarm . Have some welding gloves to pick up box and take outside if fire . Best if you have room in outside area to charge on timer . This is only a option many other things to add safety .

Don’t stomp out li batteries. If you damage the other cells next to it it will short out and get worse. No water either, it will get worse. I would of pulled the plug and threw the damn thing outside.

And even a typewriter in the background...

I always charge my batteries inside a pot and away from anything that can burn and always keep a eye on them

That stomping got me.

Wow good thing you were home. The lipo battery are known for that I never charge one unsupervised😮

That is a great example of why you should take proper care of your LIPO battery.

And that is why a lipo, fire resistant bags are recommended when charging. For myself a must have all the time.

I never charge my lipos in the living room because of this :)

It's important to always have a li-po protection bag when charging one of these.

Use dish washing liquid to put our lipo fires. Just squirt it on there.

It’s really hard to put it out. Water doesn’t even work just keeps on burning put some sound on. It works even better. Your battery exploded. He probably didn’t have a EMS in it. Electrical managing system. Cheap Chinese stuff you had their. 😂😂😂🔥🔥

For future reference if you know how to read, do NOT stomp out a battery fire. It may have blown but the chemicals and acids in the batteries are still there and very very fucking hot. Use a chemical grade fire extinguisher or if you have a sand pit/box throw the battery in there and cover it.

I store and charge all my lithium ebike battery’s and rc truck battery’s in backup kitchen oven I have in my basement. Also store some in the microwave

That's why you get charging protection, like what is used in smartphones.

Also good it‘s a leather sofa. Stay safe, thank you for warning us!

Scary to see it , when i charge usually better put in 1 old pot just in case ….. but see how can be is impressive !!!! Thank you for share

I like how it goes out than he kicks it again and it’s starts back up

That happened the same in our apartment but i was fallen asleep and evertyhing was already worse and it was betwen 5:00 am in the morning and my cat died inside it 😢

He sacrificed his foot for that 😂

This is why they say to unplug.

Next time you ought to unplug it and carry it outside by the power cord. Just saying, fires outside don't burn the house down nearly as easily as fires inside.

Stomps on the transformer and gets a shock… literally. First unplug, THEN stomp and get battery chemicals on you.

Is there a shoe mounted on the wall where your fire extinguisher should be?

You can call this fool, a bunch of names for doing what he just did by kicking

Scary stuff!

Just happened to me at work yesterday with a 1,300mah pack, dumbest thing you can possibly do is try and stomp it out 🤦 I was able to swipe mine into a trash can run it outside, they will burn your damn house down if you don't take care of them.

glassfiber bag, mby? its 5-10.- and it will save your floor, foot and house❤

This is why I Charge my phone and other rechargeable batteries on a metal baking or cookie sheet. My cordless drill plugged in out in the garage is in a large old frying pan, be safe

When i had rc cars /planes i charged and kept my lipo batteries in an old pressure cooker 👍 you can seal it shut TIGHT obviously lol

That's why I made Battery Zone in my home's balcony Corner where I charge all of my DIY projects Batteries and drone Battery 🔋 and also store there because Lipo and Li-ion both are dangerous in home😊 and the zone is also rain and weather 🌞 proof

Anyone else nervous smoke detector didn’t go off?😊

Why I use LiFePO4

Who else would go stomp on an exploding battery to attempt to put it out?

Needed a lipo bag

Does anyone know if throwing baking soda on that would help? Serious question...im not like a fire expert here.

What a pro.. people educate yourselves!

Especially considering theres a woman in that home, I don't expect he will need to be told not to do this again, but after seeing two mistreated lipo's ignite, I charge / store all those F'rs on my covered concrete patio and still leave a small fire extinguisher within reach. Definitely not worth any amount of risk having those powerful hobby batteries in the house. Cheers.

I usually store and charge mine on asteroid 28BD in the delta quadrant.

Yup been there with a 6s, almost took whole house.

Charge them inside a metal toolbox or money safe Or outside.

Sorry this happened and yes good save always be extra careful with lipo battery thanks for sharing this

That battery was swelled like a potato before it busted must've been charging it for days lol
