Idiot

[xdanx]

At work yesterday, I saw an idiot trying to dismantle a CR123a. What will happen?

Hello Xdanx,

First the lid gets popped off, then when you remove the roll, it usually will react with the air and catch on fire. Once you have the fire out, you can unroll the roll and check out the electrodes and the separators.

It is mandatory that you have personal protective equipment to protect you from the fumes, fire, and chemicals.

Again I learned something new regarding these CR123 Lithium batteries.

Thanks for that info SilverFox!

The guy was trying to remove the lid with a screwdriver and no protective gear.

Cant wait to see what happened to him, I'll see him again on monday and let you know.
