What's been with the spate of exploding batteries in the last three or so years? Is this like the capacitor plague?

- jwilliams 17y agoIt's the increases in energy density. You're packing lots and lots of energy into a small space. The challenge is to keep it stable. It's a similar problem to an explosive. As people demand batteries that have much higher densities -- then it's going to push these boundaries... This wikipedia entry isn't a bad reference on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density Edit: .. and the rate at which you can tap that energy too.
