Reply to comment by MausBomb in 4 people taken to hospital after battery fire forces United flight to return to San Diego by Icewear_Daddy

I didn’t know this about dropping the batteries. I’ve also never used an external battery for my laptop. But makes me wonder about my external battery for my phone that I take everywhere.

Might be a good idea to keep these things in battery bags.

If it starts getting warmer than when new during charging or usage replace it. Or if it ever, even brand new, gets to "that's pretty warm (before hot)".

I'm lazy though so I just replace things like that yearly. They aren't expensive. In theory you should get a few thousand charge cycles so that is overkill, but I like the piece of mind.
