    Have fun with that but please be careful with them. Lithium battery fires are no joke. I would suggest a secure steel lock box to store away when not in use. Or keep it out of the house.

    Lithium fires are fast, aggressive and impossible to properly extinguish. Once started they are self propagating and can only be doused until it’s essentially exhausted.
