Have you tested this, perhaps by shorting a few unprotected cells in a full pack? Have a video? :)
A lithium ion cell in thermal runaway produces a LOT of heat that must go somewhere. An aluminum case would get hot enough to start a fire, even if it doesn't catch fire itself.
- rightbyte 2y agoI think the cells will just burn through the cast aluminum. Maybe enough if lifepo4?
- oulipo 2y agoNo! We've managed to design the casing such that it can sustain the fire (and exhaust the fumes with vents), check our doc here https://docs.gouach.com/fireproof-casing https://docs.gouach.com/fireproof-casing
- grumple 2y agoThe casing is fireproof, but that doesn't mean the things around it are fireproof!
- oulipo 2y agoOf course! But at least your house doesn't burn down, the casing contains the fire and dissipates the heat, check our doc here https://docs.gouach.com/fireproof-casing https://docs.gouach.com/fireproof-casing
