For a lithium-ion battery to catch fire, you need to get to a few hundred degrees Celsius. That's not possible through ambient heat or the heat generated by an operational battery. Fundamentally, there has to be a short circuit for the battery cell to hit that sort of temperature which results in it catching fire.
According to him, such issues of batteries emitting smoke and eventually catching fire are not a sudden phenomenon. These are actually the result of a build-up (in the battery) that happens over a considerable period of time. The key to tackling such issues, lay in the Battery Management System algorithms.
Bereaved kin have alleged that the fire was the result of a battery being charged exploding. Rajajinagar police said that the accused are Puneeth Gowda, 36, a resident of Yeshwantpur and owner of the showroom and Yuvaraj, 37, a manager of the showroom and resident of Rajajinagar.
