“Aliens from far away galaxies will be able to see the battery fires.”
Solid state cells cannot burn they gave glass and ceramic electrolytes and metal foils don’t burn well either. Does the aluminum foil in you cabinetry suddenly burst into flames? CATL has aluminum prototypes that use store bought aluminum foil as the anodes they are not capable of thermal runaway nor is there a gram of flammable liquid in the whole cell. It’s exciting tech for personal electronics and handheld tools. I just replaced my self propelled mower, blower,chainsaw,weedwhacker and hedgetrimmer with 40V high-end electrics. Never going back to petrol fumes or mixing sticky two cycle oils. That era is in the dust bin of history. 45+ min run time on every tool so far. I have four power modules and they take 30 min on the fast charger to charge a module with two charges and two in use I could go all day not needed. Only the mower can use two at once but will run on one for 30 min or two for 50. Looking forward to the day when those numbers triple for the same size packs with charge times of 5 min or less. The limit will be what can a 15amp 120V plug put out not what the battery can take in amps of charge at 40V. Good times ahead.
