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.

- thehappypm 2y agoFor 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.
