anser2 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I was out decoying this morning packing my metal flask and whirly battery along with cartridges in my game bag. When i opened the game bag I was greeted with a face full of acrid smoke and a shower of sparks. The flask had rolled across the game bag and touched both the battery terminals. Its ruined the battery and I was lucky they did not come in contact with the shells. O and its nackered the battery and melted parts of the flask. Memo.......... Keep the battery and metal flask seperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 If you stick wire wool across battery terminals you get a neat fire lighter. Best to keep those terminals insulated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nav54 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 same here just cover the terminals in tape or a samll piece of plastic. Its the simple little things we over look you were lucky where the shells were concerned mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
