For years I have ran chargers on a carpeted floor in a closet. Never a problem, but when there is.... First I will put a Photo-cell smoke detector directly above this. Then I will put a large slab of tile under them. Plus a large tile against the wall they are next to. the issue is the back and left side are wide open. obviously this will not contain a fire which is not my goal. I just do not want to catch anything else on fire!
Do you think my idea is adequate or does anyone have another idea? I know people built boxes out of stainless etc but that is a bit extreme to me. Although what I have been doing is a bit(very) stupid. If anyone knows some precautions I can take I would appreciate that. I also charge them unattended but I think most people do that. At 1 amp not 2 so batteries last I am not going to sit in the closet for 3+ hours.
I just figured it is time to be safe than ultimately sorry. You just never know when this could happen which is the real inherent danger. Since it is like a Jack in the box. Fine for years until BAM! Or am I over reacting and my setup is okay? I am being serious even though I think what I have been doing is bad news. So please nothing sarcastic. I would like help, something I could easily implement please. I cannot do much being disabled with hands. However anything must be better than this. I believe it is true what is said and I am flirting with disaster. I could really use some help here. Thanks
