Doesn't look like a fire...more like the battery acid ate the hell out of it. If it was a fire that battery would be burntComment
-
Battery top is melted and the bottom is scorched. The sides of the battery wouldn't actually burn because the battery is crammed into the battery case. It looks like it was burning where there were places for air to get into the battery pack.
I still can't figure out how it happened.Comment

Those batteries produce hydrogen when charging due to an electrolytic reaction, on a submarine if we dont vent the battery compartment while charging it causes an explosion. The hydrogen from the charge likely got trapped in the NEAR airtight space and when heat was applied from the cell... BOOM!Battery top is melted and the bottom is scorched.

on a side note I love fire and if you clip two 9V batteries together by opposing prongs the battery will heat up. Now after the battery is nice and hot toss it in cool water.

Im stupid enough to try that :)
Re:the battery, it was on the gun when it happened. Can the same thing be true while DISCHARGING?Comment

It can, there is no difference to the cell between charging and discharging chemical reaction wise.
In the reaction, charge/discharge gives off hydrogen atoms
Do you remember having to add water to "older" car batteries, you actually where replenishing the batteries hydrogenComment

I'm genuinely surprised. I havn't heard of anyone setting anything on fire with this, for sure there are a dozen pyros on this siteComment
