<div dir="ltr">Two days ago, one of my clients came home to find the door of his powershed blown off its hinges and a smoldering Discover AES. The case was still intact and the entire room is coated with a fine graphite-like powder. The fire department was unable/unwilling to do anything to cool the battery down and it smoldered for a day. 199 degrees fahrenheit after 18 hours. Discover is taking this seriously and their response has been great. They are in contact with the cell manufacturer to find a "best practices" for the clean up of the room. They also have said that this is a first for them (lucky me).
