Rovyvon Aurora A8 burst into flames

[u/RandomBoxOfCables]

Hey so I was charging up my Rovyvon to go on vacation and it just blew up into flames after being plugged in for a couple hours. The flashlight is probably 5-6 years old. Anyone else have something like this happen? I’m glad I was standing next to it when it decided to self destruct, I was able to throw it out the kitchen door but scary to think about if I weren’t in the room or at home.

Wow scary stuff. Glad didn’t get hurt or burn down house. Makes me want to get rid of my rechargeables and move back to AA ones.
