The electrolyte is very flammable and a short circuit provides the temperature to ignite it. Some lithium battery chemistries (LFP is probably the most common, but LTO as well) are much less likely to burn when they fail catastrophically.
- cogman10 4y agoCan LFP experience thermal runaway? I was under the impression you could put a nail through an LFP cell and It'd mostly be fine.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoYes, but it is the most tame of common chemistries. https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2014/ra/c3ra45748f https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2014/ra/c3ra4574...
