It's not really practical to store them individually so what's the answer?
Not trying to be clever, just looking for ideas to safely store them. - John.
It could and probably would create a larger fire. That is why you want the ammo can to be vented so the container won't blow up. Or put them in multiple fire proof lipo bags. A clay pot would work to or a cinder block laying on the concrete with a bag of sand over it.
Sluggo, I had a lipo fire in my garage. Burned itself out overnight. The residue was not corrosive to the point you describe. I had to take every single item out of the garage and wipe it down with soap and water. It took several days of solid work with all of the family (mostly my kids and some of their friends lol) helping.
I haven't seen one instance were the residue corroded anything and this happened over a year ago.
I do have chronic bronchitis. Maybe that was caused by the fumes. Or cigars.. lol.
