Has anyone had any trouble with the battery catching on fire? Saw on TV where some battery have been doing that.
 
I have not heard about this happening with detector batteries, but those stupid electronic cigarettes have been known explode and catch fire.
 
All batteries are a source of ignition, they store huge amounts of energy for their size and come with lots of warnings accordingly, of all the rechargeable batteries I've been around only car batteries have given problems. mainly because the owner didn't maintain them properly. Read and follow labels.

No I haven’t but that is strange.
The only battery that did that was a car battery under the Volkswagen Bug car seat. The cover moved and caused a spark, I had to pull over and take it apart to stop it.
If a Detector battery did that it would be tough to put out

Send me your detector. I'll show you how to make it happen with your detector battery 🤭🤭

It looks like to me if it did catch on fire it would be when you are changing the battery? And I maybe wrong about that.

I have a better chance of finding a gold coin in a pulltab infested park before something like this ever happened. 😂😂
 
I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but the chances are small. Don't leave a rechargeable detector in a hot car, and don't be banging the control box to hammer nails. As long as you keep away from that and use the appropriate charger you should be just fine
