Testing 18650 Safety - Russian Style

Edit: Today I have found the English version:

Very excellent, respects!!!

Man, those actually took quite the beating before anything happened!

same tests in ’merica would have taken years and federal funding
let alone the toxic site cleanup

Ha! Awesome…

Great if fireworks get banned in your area. Just stock up on some Ultracraps and get a portable heater. :smiling_imp:

Love all their protective gear. Swimming goggles, shorts, and flipflops. :laughing:

I did like the guy’s shirt, though.

These are the kinds of tests I like :slight_smile:

As I always say, shorting or overcharging cells isn’t going to cause them to explode or vent (99% of the time).
They just heat up a ton.

It is physical damage that causes explosions/fire/venting.

(Of course lipos and other non-cylindrical cells behave differently, but I’m talking about 18650s and other cylindrical cells)

Well that should answer a few questions that pop up around here. Just point them to this thread, question answered.
Thanks for posting this fuzun, interesting test.

Russian style? :smiley: Also be especially careful not to breath any traces of the smoke.

Wish I could understand what they were saying. And hopefully none of them suffered any lung damage from the smoke.

In California all the property would probably be subject to massive hazardous waster cleanup costing the testers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

You can turn on English subtitles.

Best advertising for Samsung I ever saw.

Omgosh!

That’s not exactly Russia, those guys are from Lugansk, a separated Ukrainian region which declared its sovereignty.

Looks like they punch fake Liitokalas. Good job.

Great video!! Thanks for sharing fuzun…. :+1:

These cells took quite a beating before they became dangerous

auto generated subtitles are hilarious.

Very nice :+1: :smiley:

these guys are nuts

Watching them gives me goosebumps :smiley:

True but it’s difficult to understand as the English translation for me leaves much to be desired

I’m glad it was not just me scratching my head at the subtitles :slight_smile:
