Very luckily averted disaster today! Did like probably many of us do and left the batteries on charge un-supervised....
Even stupider had all the batteries bundled on top of each other...
Fortunately my daughter noticed some smoke coming from the garage and ran inside to tell me there's a fire in the garage!!!!
3 batteries turned to dust, all the others melted in some way and I wrecked my drill box of which all this was perched upon...It must of been pretty violent as there was a spray of ash all over the place.
Probable cause...after charging a 3 cell, I wacked on a 2 cell battery and started to charge and walked away without checking the setting.
Lesson learnt? I think so!!!!
