Explosion in my Reloading Room

[@M3A7]

Room full of gunpowder and guns, yet the most dangerous thing.... is a battery. Life lessons people.

[@LifeBuzzN]

The gun powder and guns are controlled by humans. The battery explosion happened on t's own. Out of all my years of living, never once has one of my guns gone off without the help of a human.

[@mojaveartifacthunters339]

You chose to buy a cheap Lithium battery, that was under your control.

[@joekillthebeat]

LiPo batteries

[@davemiller4852]

Just removed all batteries from my reloading room,. Thanks for the post

[@popsfitch7938]

congratulations !!! you just taught an old dog new tricks, Thank You so very,very much. I went directly into our BACK ROOM (wink,wink )and cleared all of the potential problems and have properly stored them. I will also unplug the laptop and my cane with attitude when I am not home. I thought that I had taken ALL of the safety precautions to keep us groove but damn did I miss that one. Well it's A799 now. I am sharing your movie with all my boys and friends and ask them to do the same. Thank you again and I am glad you and yours are 4.0. Most Sincerely, Pops

[@LifeBuzzN]

I'm glad I got thru to at least one person....scared the Hell out of us. Thanks Pops.

[@popsfitch7938]

You got the message out to quite a few more people than I think you could imagine. I received a lot for positive feedback. thanks again and keep staying on top of things. LOL Pops

[@LifeBuzzN]

Take Care Pops.

[@G56AG]

Now you have learned something about exploding lithium batteries. Most of the lithium battery problems rotate around rechargeable batteries, but occasionally even the ones that aren't rechargeable can go bad and catch fire or even explode, we get lax about these things but they are potentially dangerous.

[@LifeBuzzN]

This was very scary.....changed my way of thinking when it comes to those little scary suckers.

[@jamesgravel7755]

Those 18650’s are no joke. In the vape world they blow up all the time in people’s hands. The plastic jackets gets a small tear in them or they leak and ground out and pow. Lil bomb

[@markharding6582]

I like the lockers. Good idea. Need to think about that for my power and primers.

[@LifeBuzzN]

They are perfect.

[@davidgardner863]

I do my reloading in an out building, separate from the house. If your reloading room has only one entry door, do your work at the opposite side of the room and keep a fire extinguisher. Use a high quality charger for lithium batteries. Store powder and batteries separately outside the house if possible.

[@kirkboswell2575]

I have heard of this several times. Up to now, it has been Asian made lithium batteries. Most recently, those two wheel kids hoverboards. One family lost their house. Thanks for the heads up. I was under the impression that it was the bigger lithium batteries when being charged. This is the first time I've heard of one going off on its own. AND I thank you for being safe and separating your components. Just FYI, I haven't heard of nicad or alkaline batteries doing this.

[@LifeBuzzN]

Major EYE OPENER!!!

[@versask8td]

Man those lipos scare me, I've seen some crazy fires from just the size battery's we use in our phantoms. Enough to burn a house down, for awhile I actually was putting all my big lipos in a metal box that was sealed. They really should warn more about lipos they can do some serious damage.

[@LifeBuzzN]

Make me think differently.....that's for sure.

[@VashVenture]

Scary situation, glad no one got hurt! I recommend you remove all batteries from devices not in use for a long time, ESPECIALLY Li-Ion.

[@LifeBuzzN]

Much easier said than done, but I agree.

[@h0lx]

and THAT is why you take proper safety precautions storing things! Imagine if it were near some loose gunpowder!

[@LifeBuzzN]

I hate the thought of taking the batteries out of every flashlight, scope, camera, phone, etc. The industry need to get their crap together.

[@h0lx]

I really meant that good that you did take precautions

[@LifeBuzzN]

Thanks Friend.

[@olddeltone5062]

Thanks for an important ‘heads up’. 1st, I had to show my wife the lockers. Good Idea for my garage. Next; years back I stored all my powders/primers in my reloading room (in the house). I have since built a shed (away from the house) and now store all powders/primers (including Pyrodex) within separate compartments back there. Yes, there is some inconvenience to this practice but should ‘Murphy’ pay me a visit, the crater will be in the back lot- - - not in the house. In addition, the wife is much happier. (Remember the saying? Happy Wife?) Finally, my tack lights and other devices which are powered by Lithium batteries are now stored ‘sans’ battery. Yes, I keep one tack light (and my trusty Maglite) by the bed but powered by Alkaline batteries. Not as good but I feel more at ease… Again, thanks for the video.

[@esteemedenergy]

Hmm, thanks for the video, going to repack my li-ion batteries from my reloading room, thanks

[@LifeBuzzN]

Great idea...these things are scary.

[@latrogeniwile58]

You should only use Panasonic 18650s, or protected derivatives of them like those sold by Orbtronic. The protected batteries are about 1/8" longer and may not fit everything.

[@infowarguy]

Don't store Lithium Batteries in the electronics. store batteries in a strong vent able container

[@w3jfo290]

Yikes! Lithium Ion Battery thermal runaway cascade... Unattended lithium ion batteries or lithium ion battery powered devices are now BANNED from the reload room.

[@LifeBuzzN]

FOR SURE!!

[@JEEPTHING881]

I got a cheap flashlight for my mossberg that came with a cheapo 18650 battery. I'm at work right now but now I just want to haul ass home and throw that battery out of my garage.

[@andrewwilson8317]

For the record I remove all batteries,especially lithium ones, when not in use and keep them in my battery cabinet. It is a fire and blast resistant metal box that is isolated from all other sources of combustion. I also have a co2 fire extinguisher close to it. Some say it's overkill but is being prepared not what we are about? Being battery aware is not a bad thing!

[@LifeBuzzN]

Better safe that sorry....but what a pain.

[@MyHollowpoint]

Whoa! That's not a good thing. Thanks for the heads up.

[@LifeBuzzN]

A major eye opener for us. Take Care Friend.

[@Sandstroem82]

I'll be right back, just have to remove the flashlight from the gunsafe...

[@LifeBuzzN]

I'm glad it happened....to open my eyes....however.......damn...I use so many of those little batteries.

[@machinegreen1413]

Glad your Okay. Your wife's reaction made me laugh.

[@LifeBuzzN]

Thanks

[@DLN-ix6vf]

personally I remove the batteries when I store anything like this

[@scottlowe5961]

First the storm and now this, things are getting a bit wild around your place!

[@LifeBuzzN]

Things are crazy in East TN.

[@jsmunitions1471]

Western NC right here. Nice to meet a semi-local on here.

[@johnb1448]

Thanks for the heads up removing all batteries from my my scopes ect::::

[@killswitch489]

glad you guys are safe!!

[@LifeBuzzN]

Thanks...we're good.

[@poppopscarvinshop]

I Do Not Go To Bed or Leave My Home With Any Batteries or Electronic Devices Charging, Period. Thank You for This Very Important Video!!

[@LifeBuzzN]

Safe way to live.

[@jamesweaver4021]

Dont store powder in ammo cans. Store in plastic. In plastic it will burn if theres a fire. In ammocans it will EXPLODEin a fire.

[@ezrabrooks12]

Whats with all of these battery's blowing up or catching on fire?Never had this problem a few years ago!Like the AIR BAG RECALLS,What the FUCK!

[@LifeBuzzN]

It was never an issue for me until it was. I hate that it happened.....I'm very scared now.

[@llantup]

Were they lithium batteries? Two weeks ago I pulled my old laptop out so I could take it on vacation with me, and started charging it up and updating software on it. I had set it down and was going out for a bit when I saw orange flames through that room's windows. I dashed back into the house to find my partner fighting a fire caused by the laptop's batteries exploding and burning! Scary, scary. My lesson here is never to leave a lithium battery charging without supervision. Never again!

[@LifeBuzzN]

This was sitting in the same locker for months.....un-used, not being charged. I'm still not sure what made it blow when it did.,

[@btmatto]

what was the type of battery? CR123? 18650?

[@timlipinski2571]

Send it back... and tell them you want a replacement ! Think Lithium burns at four or five thousand degrees F. Thank you for the video ! tjl

[@timlipinski2571]

And thank you for recycling ! Primers and FMJ bullets and old Brass take up less room. And one pound of powder will reload about one thousand bullets... Do you have a Hand Loader for your EDC ? tjl

[@LifeBuzzN]

I reload whatever caliber I own.....so, yes.

[@chevy6299]

I had some never leak Duracell's leak and ruin some good equipment. Never saw one burn though.

[@LifeBuzzN]

Ya...me too. Usually the most expensive stuff. Love them batteries, but really hate em.

[@rickmirand1320]

Thanks , 🙏

[@dennislong3241]

Wow scary stuff

[@LifeBuzzN]

A real fear.

[@area46241]

Wow good thing you had it in a metal locker...I'm getting my batteries organized now...glad you shared this!! Was it lithium nicad or alkaline?

[@LifeBuzzN]

It was a lithium....

[@jasonlopez4855]

Lithium batteries will always blow up. I never keep my ammo in the same room. RC cars we use steel box for the lithium batteries always. Thay say is safe to keep batteries in your flash light for my guns but I don't. I take them all out even my scoop's and laser's.

[@alexroark4983]

that kind of stuff is freaky!

[@LifeBuzzN]

Makes you think....huh?

[@timlipinski2571]

Maybe the Flashlight was resting on the Switch... And Lithium batteries burn at a high heat. I have Rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries in my Fenix LED Flashlight that can take an 18650 battery or two CR123 batteries. tjl

[@andrewwilson8317]

Lithium battery? They are prone to doing this! We had a set of night vision goggles do this,in flight! Pilots also now forbidden to keep spare batteries in their flying suit pockets. Everybody needs to be lithium battery aware.

[@neilharris4462]

we had a huey pilot who had extra NVG batteries in his flight suit pocket that had a thermal runaway issue. luckily he was able to toss them in the ocean. scary deal in a reloading room.

[@andrewwilson8317]

Neil Harris these are not isolated incidents! What price on safety? Hopefully they will get this issue put to bed before somebody gets badly hurt.

[@neilharris4462]

+Andrew Wilson this was in 1997.... its been an issue for a while im sure lol

[@LifeBuzzN]

I'm amazed something hasn't been done about these little bombs. Scary.

[@ikegel1923]

yeah, have to be real careful stacking cr123's, that locker saved you though

[@jameslance2129]

Not trying to be a troll but this is why I don’t buy cheap flashlights

[@LifeBuzzN]

Actually, it was the battery, not the flashlight.

[@wingus1094]

Holy shit. Lucky. Good thing you separate your stuff.

[@LifeBuzzN]

I'm learning....

[@JeremySeymour001]

i had something similar happen with my pistol light but it was kinda my own fault I laid it down on its side in a safe and it got turned on and singed the safe carpet pretty bad

[@LifeBuzzN]

Still scary.....

[@floridadronz1284]

My friend house burned to the ground while he and his wife were out to dinner and the culprit was a LiPo battery.

[@LifeBuzzN]

They are so scary!!

[@luzianwasescha6056]

Next Time, buy a Surefire!

[@LifeBuzzN]

It wasn't the flashlight....it was the battery.

[@charliebrown4007]

sounds like it had licium battery their know for exploding and causing fires

[@machetedonttweet1343]

OK its 3:25 am I am going to remove the batteries from all my TAC lights and lasers . Thanks

[@LifeBuzzN]

I know....scared the crap of us.

[@john.dlugos4580]

I got no batteries in my loading room and when I lock it up and leave, all the power is completely off.

[@LifeBuzzN]

Never can be too safe...I guess.

[@MegaBait1616]

lucky.

[@LifeBuzzN]

So scary.

[@jimflys2]

So probably don't store a flashlight with your powder and primers. Not that you did, but for anyone else it would be a bad idea.

[@LifeBuzzN]

Exactly.

[@TheHandsOnChannel]

Were those lithium batteries?

[@LifeBuzzN]

Yep.

[@rls303]

Double damn.

[@LifeBuzzN]

Exactly.

[@TheOldGunsmith58]

well now you know not to put them any where near your powder.

[@LifeBuzzN]

Actually, now I that know these batteries are very dangerous, and should be taken care of the same as you would your powder.

[@TheJoeyboots]

Li Po batteries strike again uggg.

[@LifeBuzzN]

I hate em....

[@charlesflaco5037]

your luck in bud

[@LifeBuzzN]

In this case, it could of been much worse.

[@danoneill2846]

holly $#!T!!!!

[@LifeBuzzN]

I know....right?

[@danielflores7724]

Is it all Chinese components? money sold us out !

[@LifeBuzzN]

Whatever it was...it's opened my eyes.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

this was a batt. problem ????

[@LifeBuzzN]

For sure.

[@Johnyrocket70]

destroyed my entire house cause i used cheap batteries

[@LifeBuzzN]

Its not about being cheap. Trust me....they were not cheap.

[@thomastommy1192]

You need to move all the gun powder out of your home. What's wrong with you? You are not being fire conches!!!

[@LifeBuzzN]

Actually, everything is very safe....that's why I didn't have a fire. I keep everything separated and in its own secure container (Ammo Boxes, etc). Thanks for your concern tho, it's scary stuff.
