    If it’s a cheap one, only charge it while home or somehow isolate it from flammables. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby always.

      An extinguisher that can actually handle Lithium fires though. A regular CO2 extinguisher wont do anything against burning Lithium

        Honestly, don’t bother with an extinguisher. The best solution is to put it in a bucket of sand on a concrete floor or something. It’s probably safer to just let it burn out than to try to fight the fire.
