I've been trying to find the video you're mentioning but can't find anything, do you happen to have a link?

  That's because it doesn't exist, it is anti-battery propaganda.

    On a test rig you can reasonably expect batteries to catch fire, actually you want to know how much you can put them through - the key thing is to check if battery samples catch fire sooner than intended (i.e. specs + significant safety margin). Otherwise, you get scenarios like cheap Alibaba e-scooters, hoverboards and e-bikes catching fire from using batteries that weren't tested that rigorously.

      If you’d construct a torture test rig, you’d construct it for easy egress and probably put your fire control container right next to or below it.

      For sure, there are many R&D scenarios where testing to failure is an important part of the process. In the manufacturing process though — not so much.

    Watch this anti-EV propaganda instead then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUfwb7yj7wA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUfwb7yj7wA
