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.
Yeah I see I missed that there was an actual difference between the Li-ion and LiFePO4. I'm not up on all the latest and greatest tech stuff, but I like that video I posted because it doesn't use a lot of narration or cuts. It would be cool to see how that battery reacts to all the same tests like fire and being dunked in water and short circuited. To be honest I thought that LiFePO4 was some bougee name brand like Yeti or the other off-puttingly named overland gear brands that pop up for sale once someone realizes they hate going outside and never really needed any of that stuff in the first place haha.
Yeah it’s the cobalt in most other lithium batteries that makes the fire. IMO your cordless tool battery is more likely to burst into flames than a large LifePo4 battery bank.
