    If the battery is fully ignited, you need a fire extinguisher. This is to prevent full ignition and in the worst-case scenario an - explosion

      The only thing i would think of would be an electrical fire- fire extinguisher.
      For those unaware there are multiple types of extinguishers because certain sources can react badly to different methods.
      For example liquid based fire needs a dry powder suppression.
      Electrical fires need non-conductive suppression. (Server rooms actually use a gaseous suppressant that removes all the oxygen from a space rapidly. Since it's a gas it only needs to be vented out, rather than cleaned)

The pull tabs ripped and I stupidly tried prying the battery out which caused it to bend too much and boom, fire. Fire went out within a couple of minutes and then took the phone to a repair shop. They just replaced the battery and camera and it was fully working again.

    Sand is good, but salt works well for fire suppression as well and may be easier to find inside a house. It has a lower melting point than sand, so it absorbs more energy via phase change without heating up as much if the fire is excessive. If the salt melts it also forms a better barrier against oxygen to smother fires. Of course you need a steel, cast iron, ceramic, or glass container to have any hope of containing molten salt safely if the fire is that bad...

    The way it works is that Oxygen causes the chemical reaction to spark a "fire", so the sand is to suffocate it, i have alot of drone (quadcopter) batteries and when they are about to die i always puncture them so the reaction starts then leave it in a bucket of saltwater or sand so it dies out.

    Lipo fires are self oxidising as such a standard extinguisher will typically not be effective. Once started there is very little you can do apart from the sand trick and preventing it catching anything else on fire. Ideally the bucket would be metal as the plastic ones can catch fire or melt. Also try not to inhale the smoke…

    Once a battery becomes unstable, remove it from your house, garage etc. While you can temporarily reduce the burning and smoking by burying it in dirt/sand, but; until the instability that cause the fire is ended, that battery will catch fire again if exposed to air. Look into the auto carrier ship that caught fire. A number of hybrid/EV cars caught fire days after the primary fire was put out. Those cars had to be handled very carefully. The new battery fires cannot be simply put out by burying them. That only ends the fire temporarily. With RC plane/car LIPOS the first step is recognizing the potential fire hazard (Puffy Battery is KEY indicator OR any significant damage to the battery cover. First step is removing all charge. Normally that is by immersing the battery in a large container of salty water to safely discharge the battery. Connectors need to be cut off one at a time before doing so to help the water contact and discharge the battery. PS Fire Departments do not have an effective solution yet to EV/Hybrid vehicle battery fires. MANY Are just making the area safe and letting it burn itself out.

    I remember wen I first started replacing my own battery/screen first time I took off the glue with a plastic tool second time didn’t have a plastic tool so I used a box cutter razor. I was so unexperienced I thought it was freak accident then did some research and understood lmao pretty cool learning experience
