[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3701613, member: 43724"] That sucks as those Samsung cells are pretty nice ones! I use them in my ecig due to their high amperage rating. And yes, LiON cells are not to be taken lightly. Once they get to a certain temp they go into thermal runaway which ends in a pretty impressive fire. Its what caused all those ecig explosions that were prevalent until regulated mods took over the market. People would build very low resistance coils that put a huge amp draw on the battery, which would cause it to overheat and trigger the chain reaction (and its the reason I did a lot of studying on LiON cells and how to prevent this. I kept my resistance to no lower than .15 so my max amp draw was 28 amps, which good quality batts could handle easily). Piercing the cell takes out the barrier between the anode and cathode and basically causes a short, which heats up the cell until the electrolyte ignites. Honestly I'm surprised the other cells did not go up as well. [/QUOTE]
