Yes, the PBS / NOVA program was indeed informative ... and free of
political BS 😁

Re: [KX3] Lithium Battery Video

Yes, saw it too, really good reporting.  There was a very good [in the
"real engineering facts" department] article some time ago, prior to the
Samsung debacle.  It was aimed primarily at electric vehicle batteries,
and touched a bit on large lithium-chemistry batteries for the home.  
Tesla's "Gigafactory" making PowerWalls and vehicle batteries is about
45 km from us.

It might have been in Scientific American, sadly I don't remember.  But
I do remember:

The energy density of lithium-chemistry batteries is extraordinarily
high, and they have an almost infinitesimal internal resistance.  
Consequently, anything that shorts even part of the battery is going to
result in extreme currents and resulting electrical and pyrotechnic
displays.

The "secret" to safe lithium-chemistry batteries appears to be really
good engineering and manufacturing quality control.  I've had one LiPoly
RC battery I used with my KX1 go up in flames while I was calling CQ in
the Spartan Sprint.  Fortunately, I was outside on the deck, it was
externally connected via a pigtail, and I was able to fling it over the
deck railing onto the gravel driveway.  It's provenance was difficult to
determine, but I suspect somewhere way way to the west of NV.

If a lithium-chemistry battery ignites, water is not likely to put the
fire out.  Cheap isn't always a good deal, and I'd never use one
internal to the radio.

Re: [KX3] Lithium Battery Video

David Gilbert

I agree with all of that.  The ability to store lots of energy in a very
small form factor and deliver it quickly as needed (low internal
resistance) has been and will continue to be an enabler for many of the
electronic marvels we pursue (including portable electronics, electric
cars, and off-grid homes).  Unfortunately, that is also precisely the
physical definition of a bomb, and the key to being able to use such
capabilities safely is predicated on proper design (quasi-intelligent
current limiters) and effective quality control (elimination of
variables at all levels).  It's most likely going to continue to be a
rocky road, and personally I'm expecting some spectacular failures along
the way.

73,
Dave   AB7E

Re: [KX3] Lithium Battery Video

Doug Person-4
In reply to this post by k6dgw
I had a poor quality Lithium-ion pack explode with the force of dynamite
while recharging. Shrapnel was embedded in the sheet rock 8 feet away.  
The shock wave was so intense, it ruptured my left eardrum.  I never
considered that they could be dangerous.  Now I know by finding out the
hard way.  The PBS show was excellent.

Would someone be so kind as to mail me or repost the link?  For some
reason, I didn't get the original post with the link, and its not in the
archives as best I can tell.

thanks much and 73,
