[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3700076, member: 3099"] Lithium batteries are not something to trifle with. [URL='https://cellblockfcs.com/why-is-a-lithium-fire-worse-than-a-regular-fire/']Lots of information here.[/URL] ETA: I was actually looking for a link I read awhile back on how much water it took to put out a fully enveloped car fire vs. one of the new EV vehicle fires. It was a real eye opener. Something along the lines of 5000 gallons vs 100,000 gallons or some ridiculous crazy number like that. I found the above link that explains why that is and how it's actually dangerous to use water to put them out. It creates hydrogen gas when the water contacts the electrolyte. I think that a few car fires should wake up some of the green crowd. Maybe...When their house burns down and takes half the block with it from the LI battery bank going runaway on them it might.
