- Polizeiposaune 2y agoLithium batteries are more prone to self-immolation/thermal runaway; heavy fuel oils aren't prone to spontaneous ignition at typical temperatures & pressures.
- beedeebeedee 2y agoUse lithium ferrophosphate instead- no fire

- EricE 2y agoFurthermore, oil fires can be extinguished by water and/or CO2 - Lithium battery fires can't be smothered and require exponentially more water to bring under control (producing copious amounts of heavily contaminated water too). And once put out can easily re-ignite.
- elzbardico 2y agoThere's no need to lie. Lithium battery fires are a fucking nightmare.
