      I love OzB memes but man it's crazy to me that this rumour lives on in the absence of any evidence that a Heymix charger has ever caught fire. I am seriously fascinated by the origins of it all. What's the opposite of astroturfing? Did a Heymix competitor pay some people a few years back to start rumours? Was it aliens? I need answers! 🧐

          This is what all the other comments say. It's the Donald Trump special: "many people are saying <…>"

          None of the comments, including yours, address the "absence of any evidence" point I made. OzB loves Anker yet there are plenty of credible reports with photos of Anker products catching on fire, but I've yet to see a single one for Heymix. Happy for you to point me in the direction of evidence if it exists though.

          Combustion engines are ticking time bombs just with a shorter timer on them. it extremely rare for any ev to catch on fire because of a battery issue. most ev fires reported are caused by people lighting them on fire.

            @kungfuman: Not cars. Most firey call outs are for cheap scooters/ bikes with poorly made BMS's.

            Of those, it's all stupidly. Leaving bikes etc on charge over night.

            Should be timers mandatory in all chargers.

            Source: Bro in law is a firey.

            Here's a stat, the only car in our family that caught fire (and we have electric) was a diesel.

            I never knew diesel even burnt.

            Turned out to be a gift and never have to deal with that Merc diesel crap ever again .

            But really, if you have a package of energy (whatever it is) it's a thermal risk.

      Not much point. I just did EV response training through the RFS and you need around 10,000L to effectively cool the battery.
      Otherwise it’s just going to burn via thermal runaway.

      • sheikyerbouti on 21/02/2025 - 11:10
        +2

        That's not really what it says. 10,000L may be required. There have only been 6 EV battery fires in NSW since 2015, and 2 of them were extingusihed with far less than that.

        • tenpercent on 21/02/2025 - 11:43

          Only 1/3 of EV battery fires in NSW needing less than 10 kL to extinguish. I like them odds.

        • upsidedownlemon on 21/02/2025 - 12:14

      Assuming you commented in good faith. Don't get brain washed by propaganda. Facts are everywhere about ICE is more likely to catch fire than EV.

        +5

        I'm not sure that's the point they're making, if an EV battery goes bang it's a much more significant fire than an ICE catching fire. The problem with their comment is that no portable fire extinguisher is going to effect a battery fire.

        Arguably all cars should come with one, or at least all people should have them in their cars.

      • tenpercent on 21/02/2025 - 11:55

        No bias at all of course. That website is owned by BBC who say in their Sustainability policy:

        When it comes to the content our audiences watch, listen and read, the BBC needs to ensure that it’s reflecting the changes we’re seeing in society towards more sustainable ways of living.

        and

        This encompasses the mindful choices that can be made around sustainable settings or behaviours on screen, as well as the subjects or themes of a production where relevant.

        Approximately 70% of the policy is focussed on climate change propaganda, as opposed to real sustainability or environmental issues.

        Here are some specific mentions of environmental buzz words:
        Climate change: 12 instances
        Carbon: 10 instances
        Net Zero: 5 instances
        Greenhouse gas emissions: 4 instances
        Environmental sustainability: 6 instances
        Plastic use: 2 instances (e.g., "plant-based dishes" in the Great British Menu)
        Conservation: 2 instances (e.g., "conserving habitats and ecosystems")
        Pollution: 1 instance (e.g., "reduce greenhouse gas emissions")
        Habitat loss: 1 instance (e.g., "conserving habitats and ecosystems" in the Minecraft Education partnership)
        Biodiversity: 1 instance (e.g., "birds of prey" in the Hamza: Strictly Birds of Prey program)
        Sustainable living: 1 instance (e.g., "sustainable ways of living" in the DIY SOS program)
        Environmental education: 1 instance (e.g., "Minecraft Education" partnership)

        So basically all BBC content is created in such a way that they can maximise climate propaganda. #trustworthy

      No, you yourself cannot put out a lithium battery fire. The battery contains its own oxidizer. There is a video on Youtube of a Tesla burning underwater after it rolled into a lake.

      Only thing you can do is evacuate, and most importantly, keep everyone well away from the smoke. Let professionals handle the fire. That's what they're trained to do.

      As cmyk said, EV much less likely than ICE to combust. That said, I don't think this would put a dint in an EV fire so in either case I wouldn't bother carrying it in an EV for this scenario.

    Helpful info from comments I just read through from the previous deal:

    • expiry is apparently around 5 years
    • shake them every 6 months to stop from caking
    • 1kg is good for small to medium areas, if the fire is any larger you would evacuate anyway.
    • to operate remember TPASS - Twist, Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep.

          That’s right. You just want to make sure the powder remains free flowing. Check the gauge to make sure it’s fully charged, and keep it out of extremes of temperature and the weather.

      I see it as a good incentive to be fire safe. Anytime these 'deals' come up, even if saving just a few dollars, it reminds me to grab one or two, or at least check my current batches and smoke alarms.
