[QUOTE="PaulieN, post: 533873, member: 30819"] Well, like most things, prolonged immersion in salt water is terrible. They are watertight in normal use IP64 I think, but if salt water gets in under extreme conditions or damage, yes they will of course short out causing a fire. When damp seeps in it takes hours or days for combustion to start, it's certainly not instantaneous like a Petrol fire, and whilst they do indeed burn well once alight, this is largely contained within the metal enclosure. You'd have to be quite the idiot hanging around close to the car on purpose to be at much risk compared to a Petrol car fire. [/QUOTE]
