I'm curious where the holes were drilled, because like this video shows, it's not the oxygen that makes the reaction, but the layered electrodes coming into contact with one another that causes the rapid thermal reaction that make ones made like this hot.Actually not true. LifePo4 chemistry doesn’t react to oxygen like other lithium chemistries that contain cobalt. You can find YouTube videos of people literally drilling holes through lifepo4 cells without fire. Yes it generates a lot of heat but so does drilling a hole through a lead acid battery.
Lithium isn’t perfect, mainly it seems most manufactures can’t seem to get the BMS hardware and programming right, but they have a lot of advantages over lead acid.
