My Project Lithium Battery Caught Fire

I've also been watching from the sidelines and enjoying the fun across the different threads. Just my 2 cents that no one asked for, @mudder you are providing great technical information and having good discussions with people who engage at the same level. However I think your downfall was responding to the...critics...point by point.

Not just for mudder but general advice: you don't owe everyone (or anyone) a response. Reminds me of these old sayings; "Never argue with stupid as they'll bring you down their level and beat you with experience." and "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

As a nobody, I say continue sharing your findings, but just ignore those that aren't interested in changing their point of view, aren't adding anything constructive to the conversation, or are just responding to increase their post count. Not just here but everyone on the Internet.

 

Agree 100%

The bad actors don’t care about the safety of the end user.

I've seen several NiMh batteries come into the shop looking just as bad as these photos over the years. One exploded in a Gen 2 getting off the freeway coming to our shop and he had his child's seat in the back seat. Corrosion and clogged up non-working HV battery fans will kill ANY type of traction battery no matter how OEM or Aftermarket they are. Working in the field daily with these batteries I see more cars than this whole website combined, so let's stop playing the game like the Lithium's were the only ones to ever start smoking and melt.

 

Exactly! And if you look at fires in cars they are relatively common with fires in hybrid cars being significantly more common than fires in all gas ECU cars or all electric cars. That's obviously because hybrid cars have both systems.

Of course when your agenda is a smear campaign why would facts and science and statistics matter? It's all about using concerns of safety to scare people into ruining a business because a small number of 4 thousand packs had some problems and the whole entire packs was redesign because of it, but that's not good enough if your @rjparker and their ilk that gets off on trolling people because they don't have any friends in real life to hang out with.

To be clear no one has ever been injured, nor has anyone had their vehicle destroyed despite Jack being responsible for four thousand packs on the road.

Of course if you're a self-absorbed troll who gets off on falsely ruining the reputation of others, why would that matter in the slightest?
