Yup. Got one right next to the laboratory. One day, you could always forget to turn off a soldering iron!
Also -- if you're doing modern electronics development (or RC cars, or just have a lot of old phones), boy will you accumulate bad lithium cells. Fire-safe bags for them are really cheap!
I really need to get rid of my drone lipos but they cost me money so hopefully they don't pop haha
Haha, I have a similar problem. I had (very carefully) salvaged the battery from a crashed drone. They were higher energy density than anything I could buy in my country at the time. I rebuilt battery packs from them.
Now years later they're not so good and they have a semi-permanent home in a fireproof enclosure :( I should have thought about disposal first. Oh well, lesson learned.
Store them burried in a bucket of dry sand. That's literally how they get stored for disposal because that's the best place for them to be if they do pop.
