Near catastrophy and taking my boy fishing 12/19/2020

I am very thankful you and the kid are safe.

Actually, this was a great learning experience for him. Boats do not mean all is well. Attention must be paid. How you react matters.

Now, for a totally offbeat reference ->

Lithium had that problem in laptops, I guess the same on a bigger, 12 v scale.  Guess the tree huggers will just have to learn to accept the lead for what it is, useful in many applications.

I think this incident was an isolated failure.  I am not giving up on lithium yet.  They are going to warranty this one.  The next one I buy will definitely be a iron phosphate chemistry, they are considerably safer.

Glad you got out with the kiddo Cody, stinks about the battery, but as others have said glad you caught it in time... 

I had a little drone battery flame up inside a charging bag on me once... they can be fickle little fire starters for sure.

He did really good.  I told him before we got on the boat that I was the captain and he was the deckhand, and that he needed to do exactly what I said when I said it.  He listened great.

I need to say that to you when you fish out of my boat.
