Guarantee his lungs got seared by the heat, plus he would have inhaled a whole load of toxic shit. He might not have died right there, but I'm gonna assume he DID eventually die. Niki Lauda nearly died the same way (inhaling hot, toxic fumes) and it took herculean efforts from doctors to keep him alive and help him recover. I doubt this...unfortunate individual... got anything close to that level of treatment, especially in China.
The area of effect of that battery going into thermal runaway is mind-blowing.
I've seen at least 2 fires started by E-Bikes charging overnight unattended... but never seen one pop while being handled. I wonder if he dropped it just prior to the explosion?
Chinese lithium packs are notorious for randomly exploding. Even EV's made by BYD (their big-name prestige brand) have been known to go up...while sitting on the back of a truck waiting to be delivered....
They can't seem to even make a battery for smaller devices that dose not fail within 5 years and they want to make huge battery's and expect you to sit on them for a few hours a day and then keep them next to your house for the rest of the time.
Just imagine an apartment carpark full of these things going up, the smoke alone will probably kill you in a minute
and they dont even explode once, they can just keep on exploding and even reignite and start exploding again when finally extinguished

I recently got one of those ROG Ally mini gaming pc devices and I've made sure to get the official charger and not going to game while its plugged in gaming and charging at the same creates a huge amount of heat, apparently its the heat and an obsession with charging it all the time that kills a battery.
at least i have the option this time to only charge to 80%, only going charge it when it gets low, really going to try make this battery last.
gaming and charging at the same creates a huge amount of heat, apparently its the heat and an obsession with charging it all the time that kills a battery.
If it's heating up while charging, it's charging too fast. Charging too fast will kill batteries very quickly, and can offer up a runaway effect that leads to fire.
Holeee shit! That chink got COOKED! Just put him out of his misery. Is any Lithium battery not made in China?
Those things are fucking bombs! No thank you I will stick with my flammable but doesn't randomly catch on fire gasoline. Imagine what a car battery would do in a crash.
I passed up a nearly free random brand e-bike because of this issue. Who has a fire-proof storage area for this type of thing? What if it bursts in to flames when it's in the car trunk?
That guy should have felt how hot that battery was and known something was wrong. Pro Tip:When a battery is not powering something, yet is getting progressively hotter, you might not want to be handling it. Since we have so many scooters in NYC now, FDNY has special containment units for them.
Making an e-bike out of my old mountain bike. That shit scares the hell out of me. I'll be getting good quality batteries and chargers and whatnot, but that thing will be outside.
Of course I have a much larger battery for the solar system so that's fun. A top-quality PV controller should keep it from going wild.
The main problem is that most batteries are from China. You can't get away from it. Even "made in USA" is a lie. They just make it 99% in china and pay a nigger to slap a sticker on it or tighten the last bolt when it gets shipped over.

That's about average for modern batteries. Some can last longer, like LiFePo4 batteries, but those a much, much larger.
