Guys and Gals.
This discussion has raised some red flags 🚩
Firsty, how is the risk of lithium battery thermal runaway or fire mitigated on an aircraft?
Gloves and Fire Containment bag. Also, the use of an atlas box or stainless steel bin receptacle will assist containment.
The very real danger is then the fumes.
Please read up on Lithium battery fires.
Water and Lithium do not mix. It does create a toxic gas. It is NOT effective as an extinguisher agent.
Edit: non flammable liquids may be used as a cooling agent for thermal runaway.
This should be covered in EP’s training.
