Receive. You have no answer to see one more smoke detector activation. I am clear, but if you won't leave it on FM only for the next hour, as a precaution. If I turn out, okay. So, sorry, we did not. It was not hot to the touch. That battery should have an internal. disconnect, that would have shut it off. All right, well, it's in thermal runaway. It's whiskey smoke again, so I just told them just to make sure it stays away from any exposures and let it burn. Do you want to send the end here back out? I just don't keep an eye on it, but where the plug goes into the side of the battery from that charger that's linked up to the solar panel, that's where it's whiskey. out a little bit. So with it being the lithium ion, that's where I was worried about. So I'm sure it's in that mood and it could not do anything maybe for another 24, 48 hours. So I still only keep an eye on it.
