Shit. I should have done some research or something before buying these. Well I guess I lit that money on fire for two of those.
Unfortunately your stick can't put it out either. Hahaha. Just gotta let it burn.
I could barely see the edge of the card. As for getting it out, it was purely a matter of blind luck and stubborn determination.
Thanks for sharing. It looks like it’s not useful on an established fire. I’ve seen similar videos of it being very effective at initial flame up. Now you’ve got me thinking about what would put out / slow down a lithium fire as things get super heated very quickly! Given our vehicles fording ability I think a large vehicle fire would be a total loss so I’m going to keep mine in my truck and plan to catch anything early and plan B is to get a new truck on Ins co dime
Our adventure vehicle "recovery board" is a strip of wood with some tape on it used to avoid embarrassing situations in drive-thru lines. Just sad.
Anybody actually try these out in the Rivian?
It was "recovery" and did not "avoid" the embarrassing situation. Fortunately, I had backup cards and cash...and nobody "knew". I retrieved it at home in the garage.
Yep I have them installed in mine, hence why I recommended them. Due to the roomy entry feature they can occasionally pop out so just need to give them a shove back down to reinsert, but have been great. Already saved me from losing a card and a phone.
Not sure that will do much, if there in case of a "car fire" - battery fires are near impossible to extinguish.
I also have an Element fire extinguisher (not for long... ugh can't believe they're that terrible) but I've always figured it would be used on someone else's vehicle. Kinda like carrying extra fuel or a jump pack. Never had to use it for myself but has come in handy many times to help someone else.
No thoughts other than fireman and thousands of gallons of water doesn’t put a dent in a EVv battery fires ? . Many articles on this.
Well aware of that. Like I mentioned, reality is that I'd like to carry an extinguisher to help out someone in need in the event of a fire. Also nice to have at the camp site.
We use these in our other vehicles. Glad to hear they work in a Rivian. (I might get my R1T max pack some year.)
