it’s just kinda a messy drawer of batteries/screwdrivers/IKEA assembly tools/etc. We’ve had it for like 15 years and it’s never been an issue but I saw a tiktok video of a lithium battery exploding and it made me realize, there’s a lot of potential energy in one drawer and idk if I’m taking the necessary safety precautions 😅
idk a lot about how batteries work, but like are they at risk of turning into a pillow and fireball like lithium ion ones?
Everyone seems to be saying this is super safe, but I wouldn’t do this. If nothing else the batteries can leak and therefore you should put them in a container to prevent damaging anything else if that does happen. And yeah I definitely would try not to have metal tools banging around with the batteries, personally.
