I gather a burning battery tends to spray flaming debris in all directions. Even if it it's not full on flameproof, some sort of enclosure might contain debris and avoid spot fires.

I'm as paranoid as anyone but this is too much even for me. How do you two charge your phones?

Phones charge on fire resistant tile. I only use the other building for stuff with removable batteries which phones sadly aren't. If the phones had removable batteries I'd just get an extra set an swap with the ones on the charger when they run low.

I've been thinking of finding some kind of fire resistant box for phone charging though, so that's what I was hoping to find at the link. :)

There's bat-safe boxes ( https://www.bat-safe.com ) , but can't comment on effectiveness...
