Scary
Perhaps, but let's put it into perspective: After arguably the most serious
level of battery failure possible, the fire was contained within the battery
enclosure, even if the contents did leak out and make a bit of a mess. The
smoke was discharged as per design. Inconvenienced, but no one in any
serious danger, nor lost their life, which is the most important thing..
It's what actually happens, not what might.

These events should provide a lot of new data, even if it is a bit expensive and
whether they were expecting it or not ...

Regards,

Chris
