Firstly, all large chunks of Lithium-based battery packs must be regulated/controlled, just like how airlines are doing.
Secondly, Hydrogen is dangerous indoors, because the gas gets trapped AND is odorless, and no one will notice until something goes boom.
- frumper 3y agoNatural gas and propane are odorless too. They solved that problem by adding an odorant to it.
- unethical_ban 3y agoI don't think you can add an odor to an offgassing byproduct of a battery.

- ars 3y agoIt's harder than is obvious, the odorant must spread in the same way that the hydrogen does under wind and buoyancy. Natural gas is a bit of a heavier molecule but hydrogen is very light and I suspect that the hydrogen and the smell would very rapidly separate. A bigger problem is that hydrogen can leak through tiny cracks, and odorant can't.
