Lithium Ion Battery Warning - Fire Risk

It shorted when the metal came into contact with it.  Semantics.

Just wanted to update and let u know the company has made a payment that covers half the cost of a replacement sofa.  I've never asked for compensation before, I probably won't again but it will make replacing the damaged sofa a bit easier.  Decent companies with integrity do exist.  Yes, I know it was probably cheaper to pay this than to 'lawyer up' but they didn't have to decide to make this offer even so. 

It goes without saying, now I am aware of the risks, the kit, and individual batteries will be enclosed and kept seperate from anything else.  I have also bought three fire proof bags made for lithium ion batteries or things using them so I can even charge the batteries without having to risk a fire if something goes wrong.  This will never happen again.
