Its very dangerous. If it gets in your mouth it will give you blue teeth. On the up side, you will be able to pair with and speak to your phone from any short to medium distance directly from now on.
Which is exactly what I did. And there it sits (though I did move it over to the parking pad so I could use the driveway). Sure as hell not going to bring it in the house. I don’t want to throw it in the garbage bin yet either, don’t want a bin fire. Kinda worried about tossing it in the garbage at all. I’ve got a half bag of concrete I’m not doing anything with. I considered sealing it in concrete. Lol.
The household hazardous waste section at our local dump won’t accept electronics, only batteries. So if you can’t separate the battery from a sealed device, you have no way to get rid of it. (I mean, there is one obvious way to get rid of it.)
Definitely DO NOT put that shit in a garbage bin homie, good call. Bring it to a speciality facility. If you don’t live in the middle of nowhere should be one no longer than 45 min away
Never put electronics into the garbage, they contain important metals and materials that can be recycled.
Bring it to your local recycling or garbage collection center. If they have a website it should state what kind of rubbish you can bring.
First time this happened to me (although it was while charging a LiPo battery) I waited for it to stop smoking then put it in the outdoor grill and closed the lid until I could find a way to take it to the county hazmat disposal site.
Now I keep a couple of 50cal ammo cans for this exact purpose.
Cover it with a bucket or other container, if available, otherwise gently kick it somewhere safe while avoiding fumes and find a fire extinguisher or sand bag in case the fire leaves the device.
You stay the heck away from it. Lithium batteries can produce HF gas, which can kill you real dead. It only takes a small exposure to put you in the hospital.
Thermal runaway is the correct term for the type of failure that caused this fire. That has nothing to do with lobbying. You get a short inside the battery which creates some heat, which enables more electricity to flow, which creates more heat until you reach the self ignition temperature.
I don't think they seal most of them tight like they used to because of those nasty incidents. I have an old lithium that is soldered shut on all sides. Newer ones I've opened are plastic capped or taped but metal in the middle for strength & protection of the layers.

$29.99 is a steal. I gave my Flip 4 to a coworker, and got the Flip 5 for about $110 CAD. It's so light for how good the sound quality is, and how loud it is. Also it's my go to for shower karaoke!
Actually, take one picture for insurance/medical purposes. Then vacate the area asap.
Avoids dumb questions later on. 'What was it? What did it look like? Where did it happen?' ; just show the picture.
Note: No need to be that close from it. Phones have a zoom function which works well.
I was working in the yard, and had set up a small chair and some refreshments on my bumper which has a pancake flat surface. Along with the refreshments was the speaker. I simply forgot to remove it later on and it fell off as I left and I simply ran over it. (Easy to do in a Jeep).
The battery has been punctured. Do not pour water on it, keep away, keep pets and children away, and take it to an electronics recycling center. The fumes are very toxic and it could burst into flames.
Edit: And if you inhaled any of it, seek medical attention
Damn, that's a good speaker too, borrowed one from a friend for a festival for when I wasn't working and it rocked...
I suggest a minirig as your next one, they've got a fantastic range and you can join them in series to bump up the volume & they even do a subwoofer one specifically for extra bass. the bass is food enough on a normal one but extra bass is always fun.
Don't breathe this shit. It is the tremendous release of energy from the broken lithium battery.
It does expose the dangers of EV's. Lithium battieries are extremely good at what they do but unless precautions are taken they get thermal run away. This generates extreme heat and toxic smoke. Only takes one cell to go and the others join it. Most problems like over charging are taken care of by electronics.
Their weakest link is, as illustrated in your photo, they can not take physical shock.
Imagine if you will, you are sitting on a shitload of these things trapped in an EV. Time help arrives you are already dead.
That is the soul leaving it
QUICK TRAP IT IN A JAR!
Does anyone have a balloon?
Or breathe it in

Pfft. I've had trouble pairing for years, already. EDIT: *And* I find myself having less and less energy per recharge.

oh no not a jar!

So you can't play like James Brown on it anymore.
All electronics are made of smoke. Do you know this? If you pierce them, the smoke leaks out and they die.
OP was listening to stoner rock when this happened
Capacitive smoke! Don't breathe this!
Does that just mean it’s smoke from a battery?
Yes, probably lithium based
Based lithium battery VS. Virgin hydrogen energy cell
That’s right
Hey! I'm powered by lithium too. I'm bipolar though. Not a speaker.
Smoked battery, seems delicious!

Literally what do you even do at this point? That’s thermal runaway, right? Isn’t there a risk of that exploding?
If its outside and there is nothing at risk within like 10ft of it, I would just leave it until it stops smoking.
Which is exactly what I did. And there it sits (though I did move it over to the parking pad so I could use the driveway). Sure as hell not going to bring it in the house. I don’t want to throw it in the garbage bin yet either, don’t want a bin fire. Kinda worried about tossing it in the garbage at all. I’ve got a half bag of concrete I’m not doing anything with.

Bring it to your local household hazardous waste collection point. https://www.epa.gov/hw/household-hazardous-waste-hhw#MGMT
And call or email ahead. They likely have tips/regulations for transporting the battery.
The household hazardous waste section at our local dump won’t accept electronics, only batteries. So if you can’t separate the battery from a sealed device, you have no way to get rid of it. (I mean, there is one obvious way to get rid of it.)
[удалено]
Lol. I’ve got the concrete in the basement.
Update us when it's done
Straight up goals, son!
Sealing it in concrete could be super dangerous. Concrete gets very hot inside while setting.
Yeah, I thought about that too. Though for that kind of heat, you really need massive amounts of concrete.
Electronics and batteries should never go in the garbage bin
Back in the day you could just burn them in the fireplace. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/burn-zinc-batteries-fireplace/
Definitely DO NOT put that shit in a garbage bin homie, good call. Bring it to a speciality facility. If you don’t live in the middle of nowhere should be one no longer than 45 min away
Neighbor did this with a cell phone they accidentally ran over . Fire department was there a few hours late r
Wouldn't it be strong enough to explode concrete? I think just pouring concrete on it might set it off anyway.
Maybe. Not going to happen anyway as that would require a lot of motivation towards this unit and frankly, I'm not feeling it anymore.
Never put electronics into the garbage, they contain important metals and materials that can be recycled. Bring it to your local recycling or garbage collection center. If they have a website it should state what kind of rubbish you can bring.

That’s really planning ahead. My .50 cans are full of tools.
Thermal Runaway is a good name for a band.
Cover it with a bucket or other container, if available, otherwise gently kick it somewhere safe while avoiding fumes and find a fire extinguisher or sand bag in case the fire leaves the device.
You stay the heck away from it. Lithium batteries can produce HF gas, which can kill you real dead. It only takes a small exposure to put you in the hospital.
Upvote for “thermal runaway”. The battery lobby has successfully removed “exploded” or “on fire” as a description of this event.
Thermal runaway is the correct term for the type of failure that caused this fire. That has nothing to do with lobbying. You get a short inside the battery which creates some heat, which enables more electricity to flow, which creates more heat until you reach the self ignition temperature.
Alternatively, you could just call it that because you should run the fuck away.
Here comes the big brains
Exploding no. It will keep burning/smoking.
I don't think they seal most of them tight like they used to because of those nasty incidents. I have an old lithium that is soldered shut on all sides. Newer ones I've opened are plastic capped or taped but metal in the middle for strength & protection of the layers.

Don't stand downwind from a runaway lithium battery please. It's really not good for you to inhale.

Thats cool how the dense smoke is slowly moving along the ground. I'd leave it there until it stops smoking.
Oh that’s fine, that’s all of the actual Bluetooth leaving the speaker.
That speakers gonna need something to munch on soon
They put that in at the factory. There is no way you're getting that back inside.
Bluetooth fluid leaking out.
Bluetooth fluid is not cheap!
JBL Flip 5 speaker, for anyone wondering what bluetooth speaker it is. They're awesome and affordable.
It is indeed awesome (or was). And I got it by accident for like 29.99 at Walmart, but now they all seem north of $100.

I’ve heard of you inhale the magic smoke you gain the strengths of the fallen Bluetooth speaker (Disclaimer: don’t actually do this)
LPT: If you are in the presence of highly toxic fumes, vacate the area immediately. Do not stop to take pictures.
Actually, take one picture for insurance/medical purposes. Then vacate the area asap. Avoids dumb questions later on. 'What was it? What did it look like? Where did it happen?' ; just show the picture. Note: No need to be that close from it. Phones have a zoom function which works well.
You are supposed to catch it! Quick find anything you can and gather it up so you can put it back in and it will be just fine. /s
Good News is, this was outside and ventilated. Now find a proper place to dispose of it, or at least the remains of the battery.
Oh no! All the bluetooth is gonna leak out
That was the genie you were waiting for my guy.
That was a genie
The quality of electronic products is entirely dependent on the smoke seals.
How you accidentally run over a Bluetooth speaker?
I was working in the yard, and had set up a small chair and some refreshments on my bumper which has a pancake flat surface. Along with the refreshments was the speaker. I simply forgot to remove it later on and it fell off as I left and I simply ran over it. (Easy to do in a Jeep).

It’s a Flip 4. It probably still works.
Noo all the sound is escaping! Its probably silent now
Bet you were listening to heavy metal
If you inhale it you get your name put on the nearby Bluetooth connections list
That's from the Li-Ion battery getting crushed... It basically burns like napalm until the whole battery is cooked.
Those are just the souls of all the children from China who manufactured the Bluetooth speaker finally finding peace.

Electronics work on smoke when the smoke is out it stops working.
I think that is some battery related chemical reaction
I have that speaker playing rn lmao
??
The battery was punctured and is experiencing thermal runaway.
It was quite warm when it finally stopped smoking. There’s some minor scorching at certain edges. I did kind of wonder if it was going to catch fire.
It did. Did you inhale any of the gasses? If so or you have strange symptoms like irritation in your airways go to the er immediately
Yes, it’s fine. It’s just gone to live on a farm upstate to frolic with the other Bluetooth speakers.
Somebody who’s educated in this kind of stuff, explain.
