You guys are giving me a headache! I thought I knew everything about batteries as I am a solar power freak, but I am going to crawl under my rock and shut up!

Do you hate me that much? Is there an emoji equivalent to I am going crazy!

Yeah. Guess I could build an adapter like some flashlights have. Maybe 1 LiFePo4 instead of 2 AA?
Wow! My pool only has 15,000 gallons.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking, some sort of slug, but still a tad high at 3.2V (probably not a big deal). But 600mAh would run down pretty quickly.

Funny thing is water does nothing for Lithium fires, actually makes it burn faster. It’s just a matter of trying to keep it contained until it burns itself out.

Couldn’t they use foam or heavy water (Deterium Oxide) just like an oil or gas fire?
I know some aircraft fires you just have to bury and let it burn out.
From what I’ve seen, once the chain reaction starts, they need very little oxygen to burn, so no matter what you cover them with, you just have to wait it out. Especially in these battery banks where they’re all right next to each other and you can’t get anything between them. When working with a soldering iron around lithium batteries I do it near an exit with a bucket of sand ready. I’ve seen videos of people attempting to spot weld tabs on lithium batteries to make battery banks, and when they do catch, even totally buried in sand, they just keep going. Actually can get hot enough to fuse the sand together.
There’s some fun videos of what you can do with the roll of lithium foil that is inside those energizer batteries. Reacts almost as violently as Sodium when it hits water. Kids, don’t try this at home.

I just received and set up two Wyze Cam V4 (black) with continuous recording to an SD card, plugged directly into an outlet.
I wish it supported more than just 2.4 GHZ but overall I am very satisfied.
dave27 → again, thank you for the excellent, thoughtful advice.
