Get away from here with your voice of reason.

This site won't put up with it.

Any novel ideas you'd like to put forward then Ben?
Ideas for what?

Ben
Ways of dealing with a high energy fire that supplies its own oxygen. Or how to drain a battery to less than its design spec without access to the manufactures own specific data/technology to make it is safer to deal with and store after an accident.

Can you imagine being trapped inside after accident and the battery kicking off. At least it will be quick.
I remember the ferocity my tomtom battery went up when I accidentally pierced it with a kitchen knife while trying to change it. The battery was knackered, flat as fuck and wouldn't charge but it still went off like a firework.

You don't need to do you?

Given the way you lot go on you'd think that you saw at least one in flames every day and two on a Sunday.

Basically, big skip full of water as scruffy said.
In a rtc leave keys in, call Fire Brigade, tell them it's an EV.
