Re: Fire Safety in the Lab

The biggest fire hazard I've seen is in the way teams charge their batteries. - sticking the alligator clips into the Anderson connectors. DON'T DO THIS! They come very near to shorting and the battery is capable of putting out several hundreds of amps for a short period of time. A shorted battery (by means of touching charger clips or otherwise) can produce significant sparks and tremendous heat, possibly resulting in a fire depending on the surroundings.
