I wasn't speaking of smaller cells like phones. I guess the PC have been sorted out.
I was thinking specifically of EV packs that are home built or otherwise DIY'd. If there is a malfunction you may burn it down. I am sure some other folks will chime in.

There is a cart full of LFP melted down on a cart just outside his lab exit in an early chapter. I won't do it. Good luck to you.
