heads up on button cell batteries

i never thought much about these, theyre cheap, keep a few packs onhand for various things, and they wind up (for me) in the bottom of a drawer full of manuals and paperwork and other 'burnable' material .. today i needed a couple for a lazer that had gone dead and noted that some had gone bad, swelled, and obviously generated some heat when they ruptured, note the paper backing is brown .. maybe not likely, but i feel like i dodged a bullet there lol ... could have got ugly .. so if you got a pack of these nestled in with some tinder you may want to re-think it, especially if theyve been in there a year or two🙂

Meh, we use them all over the place where I work, rarely do we see one even bulge and never had a fire or equipment destruction from one.

Large batteries, pouches and packs are closely monitored for voltage dropps, allowing for removal before they cause problems.

Thank you for the reminder to check dates, I'll do that today.
