One never ceases to be amazed at what we can 'learn' on these fora:

how to handle a burning lithium battery as the metal can be very reactive
How exactly does that work then? There is no metallic lithium in the battery!
placing it water may not be the best idea it shorts the battery.
How exactly does that work then? A 'short circuit' is a zero Ohm load on the battery - water cannot possibly do that!
Also some metals can ripe the oxygen out of the water and keep burning.
How exactly does this work then? The only thing 'ripe' in all this nonsense appears to be your imagination!
Why make up this nonsense? Why present your misunderstandings and false theories as facts? I'd keep them to yourself if you don't want others to 'ripe' the p1$$.!
