Australia October 2021 - pv Magazine Insight:

Video below is first I've seen detailing the string of events leading to Battery ignition and explosion. Like the event in Paris with the Ev Bus.

The Youtube video below is a link to a series of presentations about Electrifying Australia and in particular Battery inclusions. One of the presentations is by Prof. Paul Christensen of Newcastle Uni (UK). It is an alarming story and worth viewing. Don't think Paul suffers fools lightly...... :D

His presentation, "Inside thermal runaway. how battery fires manifest" begins at 1hr 02 mins in (approx). There is more after that on safety and instances of installations that are sheer madness. Shocking stuff.... :o

Couple of takeaways...UK Government not banning 2nd life battery use and ensuring Batt system are not installed within houses.. Of 3000+ UK installations 50% were either in the roof area or under the stairs. FFS. Gas sensors...
