Ethylene carbonate is a common li-ion cell electrolyte. Wikipedia 
explains that there are several organic solvents that are commonly used:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery#Electrolytes

None of the li-ion cells have water-based electrolyte. This is because 
the cell cannot have water in it anywhere, or air, because that would 
combine with the active lithium compounds and render them somewhat inert.

problem.   Do you know what is used?   

Lee Hart ->  I'm sure that would add to the difficulty, but still I would 
think anything that makes the battery "less" of a batteryand more of a chunk of 
plastic and foil is a good thing even if it doesn't work perfectly.


Just blue-sky'ingwhat if either the solvent or battery separator could 
change state?   For example, for the sake of discussion, 
suppose the separator "melted" at a low enough temp to change from porous to 
relatively nonporous?  Or perhaps even somethingcould "poison" the electrolyte 
in a heat sensitive thing that might release some other salt.

An additional problem is that the electrolyte is mostly held in the 
separators between the plates. Depending on the specific type of 
battery, little or none of it would flow out if you made a hole in the 
bottom.

2020-06-22 Thread paul dove via EV 
There is very little electrolyte in a Lithium Ion battery. If you open one up 
it doesn’t pour out. It is mostly on the pos and neg terminals based on charge 
state. You might get a few teaspoons. The idea is to only have as much as 
needed to increase the energy density. More electrolyte increases weight.

Maybe eventually but I think it just burns up all the fuel. It was over 30 
minutes ten the the first time and twenty the second time and the fire still 
wasn’t out. They never actually show the fire out on that Leaf

The "Triangle of Fire" shows that there are 3 things necessary to
sustain a (traditional/house) fire: Fuel, Oxygen and Heat:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_triangle
Obviously, in a chemical fire this can change but the idea of fire
extinguishing stays the same:
Remove *ONE* element of the triangle to stop the fire.
In this case of electrolyte producing both Fuel and Oxygen, the only
element that you can remove is the necessary Heat to sustain the
combustion.
So, that is what firefighters are doing - even on electrical fires in
EV battery boxes.

the Dreamliner Halon system didn’t work when they had battery fires. If they

reaction and stops the fire.   I'd bet you could make a 
heat sensitive relief valve (at the bottom) and as the battery heats up, it 
would dump the electrolyte (which is getting hot anyway and would eitherpour 
via gravity or perhaps boil out the relief valve). It would make a mess...but I
