The news reports show this device as the source of the incident. Looks like a 2-cell cylindrical charger. Does anyone recognize the product?
ANY BATTERY ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE IMPROPER USAGE OR MISTREATED BATTERY,
I AM SORRY WE WILL NOT PAY YOUR MISTAKES!
Many airlines require that batteries be stored inside a device. They won't let loose cells on the plane. Still dumb.
The orange battery must be pretty good. Even the fire failed to cause it to vent. Wonder what brand the burned one is?
I've seen many people vaping with xfire batteries. I mean right in your mouth! Horrifying
[...] Pay attention to the photo: the charging slot is absolutely clear, but the left external wall of the charger is melted. What does that mean? That means that the cell was OUTSIDE of the charger

My question may be elementary, but why not simply transport batteries inside a plastic case? I won't carry a lithium ion cell anywhere unless it is stored inside a high quality O-ring sealed case like a delrin capsule from Oveready or the Cell Vault XL from Thyrm. I don't even use the industry standard plastic shipping containers for fear they could open unintentionally during transit.
