haven't used my RGB30 in ages & they're notorious for battery problems so I opened it to check for swellage & it LOOKS fine but I still don't really trust it... hmm...
I charged it very carefully & it actually works fine
the card with all the games on pinged off somewhere though & i can't find it
Okay I genuinely have no idea where that card went I've scoured the whole floor for it. I'll probably find it one day when it goes up the hoover
Update I DID find the card it had landed on the sofa and gone down the crack of it
But the console won't boot with it inserted so I guess it's possibly gone bad lol
@LightTheUnicorn yeah I do have one of those, I bought it back when I had a laptop battery swell up & I needed to carry it to a recycling place. if I charge it I'll do it in that I guess
As far as I understand it they won't really contain a fire for very long, they're just designed to buy you enough time to chuck it outside if one starts. Better than nothing though
@lion Yeah that kinda one! For sure won’t keep things fully contained, but definitely a lot better than having the things in open air!
@lion When I’ve needed to test unknown and potentially spicy batteries, I’ve always charged them outside on concrete away from anything flammable. But that’s not advice, probably shouldn’t do that.
I wish there was a place you could go to that was just like a fireproof room with power points where you could try charging dubious batteries and make sure they don't explode
