Thanks Gde -
I've been around DC battery banks in heavy trucks, sometimes large equipment - the amps want to escape to the ground and are happy to weld or light stuff on fire while doing so...
Not saying malfunctioning or ruptured pressurized fuel injection systems are not also a fire hazard
Yeah, lots of potential hazards with anything that has some sort of "energy" storage whether that is liquid fuels, springs or batteries. Some hazards like high density batteries can pose some rather hidden faults that many people assume it can never happen.
One product I worked on loading software on used lithium Ion batteries and after a few of those devices melted in peoples hands the my company pulled them after discovering the third party vendor of the units was having quality issues with the batteries.. Fortunately only minor burns, could have been much worse and that was from a one 3.7V 2Ahr Lithium Ion cell.. I have much more respect for how much energy those batteries can store in that small space.
