    I did the steel wool one a while back. It flared up much quicker than I would have thought. I am much more careful with my 9Vs at home. I make sure that the terminal protector is on each one. I didn't realize though that there was also a danger with the AAs.

    Thanks for the post.

    They use batteries and thin foil in jails to make fire. I do know that much.
