That is a great warning William. It is good to hear the animals and people got out safely.
As with so many things, all it takes is one bad unit to create a disaster. I see it was a Go-Pro battery. Is there a make or brand name other than Go-Pro on them? Dat is een grote waarschuwing William. Het is goed om de dieren te horen en mensen komen veilig uit. Net zoals bij zoveel dingen, is het maar een slechte eenheid om een ramp te maken. Ik zie dat het een Go-Pro batterij was. Is er een merk of merknaam anders dan Go-Pro op hen? 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of William Lagerberg Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2017 2:30 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Fire in the house li-ion 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:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to r...@elecraft.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
