Thank you! That was interesting.
Thanks for that, shame they didn’t test li-ion in the same way as the others.
Was impressed by the polymers though, thought they were more explosive than that.
LOL
yes, definitely do not hammer a nail through a LiIon, as it will cause “venting with flames” when it is short circuited
but, this is not a relevant test for the way we use batteries in flashlights
You should test NCA (Lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide) chemistry instead of NCR, its supposed to be more resistant to crushing impacts and that’s why they are used in e-bike and Teslas for example.
just do a penetration test on a regular fuel tank with some ingition on a car crash
the outcome is at least as dangerous as a battery pack thermal runaway
lithium round cells can be mechanically very badly abused without thermal runaway
also their LiFe Po was some sort of fake cells, seriously it could only drive 5-7A after short high current period overloading the 20A range
