Did you really just compare a diesel fire to a lithium battery explosion?

and without compression it will burn as slow as possible, it will not explode.

New diesel barely burns without atomization when exposed to an open flame.

20 million BTUs burning is significant.

Li Ion cells explode due to overcharging. Has there been any cases where the entire battery pack explodes?

Your right Allan, there are no dangers from LI-ion batteries. The Boeing Dreamliner, Galaxy phone, e-cigarettes have never had issues and they don’t let you put a laptop in your checked baggage because they’re just azzholes.

Remember you wear your trucker headset because holding a phone is dangerous, or is it so it doesn’t explode next to your head? Hmmm

Just have to figure in the BTUs of coal it took to charge the batteries, plus the diesel all the mining equipment used.

I bet they’re not as reliable as the D12, I know it’s the wave of the future. The Chevy Volt was such a hit you can’t throw a dead cat without hitting one, I bet I see 1-2 a week. Lol

You have to have a membership card to the cult to own one.

You could actually make money working that glory hole if the government subsidized it like the alternative energy industry. Good thing you do it because you enjoy it.

That’s the reason I’ll never have a color matched tarp. No matter how hard you try they always look like chit in no time.
