I fly FPV so I deal with exploding batteries from time to time. Fully charged batteries explode much more violently than discharged batteries which tend to smolder instead. I suspect the additional electric discharge is adding ‘fuel to the fire.’
- snek_case 4y agoInterestingly, a discharged lithium ion battery still has electric potential in it, it's just that we stop discharging it after it hits a cutoff voltage to protect the battery's lifespan. I wonder if a truly 100% discharged battery (down to zero volts) would actually be basically inert, and not even smolder if you poked it.
