“Lithium battery packs are protected by active circuitry that keeps them from self-destructing.”
No there not. That is false. I have a 2 amp hour 36 volt battery for my bike. This battery will supply 300 amps if shorted (until it explodes). NO active circuitry is going to protect you from that. Period...
” I have a 2 amp hour 36 volt battery for my bike”
Sorry, typo...
20 amp hour battery
