1. A gas detection device for a container containing lithium-ion batteries, comprising: a sensing component configured to be received by a threaded port of a lid of the container, the sensing component configured to sense at least one of a carbon monoxide level, a carbon dioxide level, or temperature within the container; at least one indicator light; and a controller configured to receive the at least one of the carbon monoxide level, the carbon dioxide level, or the temperature from the sensing component, and adjust the color of the indicator light based on a mode defined by at least one of the of carbon monoxide level, carbon dioxide level, or the temperature exceeding an associated predefined threshold.
