  • something that will insulate it from air

    Just a quick clarification (I have run into my fair share of lithium battery fires and been doing a lot of research)

    Insulating it from air doesn’t stop air from getting to it. The battery has all the oxygen (air) it needs whether buried in sand, deep under water or out in space to continue it’s catastrophic failure. The goal for being in sand, or having it suspended in an apparatus like one of those pouches or bags is to hopefully reduce the damage it does to the environment around it.

    The more people understand how we really have no control once that thermal runaway starts the more people can protect themselves and hopefully find ourselves further away from these shitty ass designs.
