Abstract: A combined capture and fire containment apparatus. The apparatus includes a telescoping rectangular prism-shaped hollow structure including a rectangular prism-shaped containment box and a rectangular prism-shaped lid portion. The lid portion is attached on opposing sides by telescoping drawer slides to the containment box. A sealing gasket is disposed on a peripheral edge of the prism-shaped lid portion to seal between the lid portion and the containment box. A latch is on an outside side portion of the lid and containment box to latch the lid portion and containment box in the closed position. A gas and fume collection filter in communication with an interior of the containment box is disposed in the lid portion. The lid portion contains a first handle disposed on an end portion of the lid portion. A second handle is disposed on a side portion of the containment box.

Abstract: A capture apparatus and method for safely picking up and moving a portable electronic device into a fire containment case. The apparatus includes a tray portion having a rectangular base, opposing sides orthogonal to the base, tapered rod attached to the rectangular base between the opposing sides, and slide rails attached to the opposing sides. A lid portion is also provided and includes five sides of a rectangular prism-shaped structure defining a cavity within the apparatus for holding the malfunctioning portable electronic device. The lid portion has a first handle on a first side end, a second handle on a cover portion orthogonal to the first side end, and opposing sides attached to the cover, the first side end and a second side end. The first side end and the second side end of the lid portion include slides for slidable engagement with the slide rails of the tray portion.

Abstract: A valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery having a plurality of stacked, interconnected spiral-wound cells. Each cell has a length (L) less than a diameter (D) and each cell has a non-conductive case containing spiral-wound positive and negative plates, a separator between the plates, an acidic electrolyte, and a positive post and a negative post disposed through the case for electrical connection to an adjacent cell in series.
