Is it volatile, does it need cooling like the car battery bank? Different types of lithium ion batteries have different traits, pluses and minuses, the higher energy density ones are the kind that can catch fire. I haven’t kept up, other than knowing they’re on the market or close with the Tesla Wall.

Sorry···got the Tesla battery number wrong, it’s 2170...21mm diameter and 70mm length vs the 18mm x 65mm widely used for everything.

Tesla’s Battery Management System and fusing of each individual cell pretty much takes care of that potential problem. Hence, their proprietary design and manufacture.

Don’t recall seeing mention of where the incindiary ones involved with the Samsungs actually manufactured. The cheap Chinese knock offs and outright fakes remain the chief source of the problems.

Youtube has some very informative videos Tesla has posted. Use Tesla Powerwall and Tesla battery cells...as search terms
