    Good info...thanks @Rick O-Shea !

    "I had 2 extra batteries in my pants and then I put my keys in there." Hmmmm...where was that pesky battery carrying case?!??!!

    Another interesting tidbit was this...

    That's 33 million people...not a small group by any standards!!

    Vape safe people...and carry spare batteries in cases
    (or tape off both ends...although this is much less preferred)!!

    When will people learn to NOT put their keys in their pockets. Venting batteries, scratched up mobile phones and if you trip and land on those keys could mean a severed artery.

    User error strikes again, I wish battery sellers and manufacturers would do more for battery safety, especially for new users out there.

    It would help if the 18650s we use where redesigned. How many people are aware that if you damage or remove the heatshrink your positive and negative terminals are mms apart. Its very easy to damage the top corner of a heatshrink and then a small coin can cause a short. Ive even seen a youtube video of a guy removing all the thin hard heatshring and replacing with a thicker rubberized one, without realizing that its not as strong and would rip more easy. I found that out the hard way, fortunatly I understand the dangers and replaced the heatshrink again as soon as the damage occured.


    The correct heatshrink for 18650s
    $1.36 18650 Battery Sleeve PVC Heat Shrinkable Tube Wrap (50-Pack) 50-pack - 72*30*0.08mm / blue at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    This sort of battery should only be sold in it's own plastic case. Maybe that would add 20p to the cost, for a good case, but then people might get the idea, and carry batteries safely.
