I think you're confusing li-poly and lithium ion, with lifepo4. There's no shortage of videos on youtube of people cutting open lifepo4 with kitchen knives, band saws, and hammers without ill effect.
- ranger_danger 1y agoFalse equivalence IMO... cutting into an unconnected battery is not how battery fires typically start, not a typical act people perform with their batteries, nor really related to self-ignition, dendrites or thermal runaway at all.
- hadlock 1y agoIf you want to look at it from another angle, you often can't get insurance for a boat with "regular" lithium house batteries, however most/all insurance companies have a carve-out for lifepo4 as it's recognized industry-wide as one of the safest battery technologies available under a wide variety of conditions.
