ICE engine owners need to realize how dangerous they are. I'm afraid somebody is going to strip their car in their driveway to sell the parts and it might fall on them.
Or they are going to be working on the motor with it running and stick their hand in the fan.
LOL!
Laugh if you want. Until you've seen even a small lithium battery fire, you have no idea. VERY violent, energetic, impossible to quench.
Good morning.
Although lithium type battery fires are nasty things at least so far they haven’t proven to be any more problematic than liquid vehicle fires in the industry. Hopefully that will continue to be the case.
Also, I’m not sure I understood the being covered in Electrolyte comment. I assume you are talking about the 12 volt lead acid battery under the hood which normal ICE vehicles have as well. Maybe I misunderstood.
John.
Just a concern, some of the batteries I have seen on the inter webs from flooded Tesla’s are nasty. Once water penetrates the battery bank all bets are off, I certainly do not want that stuff on me. Also, to remove a battery from a Tesla you have to physically be under the vehicle. With a lift, not so much a concern, but with floor jacks and jack stands...again just a concern.
As the technology progresses we will make tools that the hot rod guys will have in their home workshops to make this simpler. I just haven’t started seeing li-on battery removal lift for sale like you see cherry pickers and engine stands yet.
Again, the electrolyte comment is just a concern I have.
Thanks!
