Firefox mascot is so adorable, and it pleases the Cryptid greatly to see that they put so much effort into them ^^

Ah, Phil Anthropy.
How much has he donated to good causes?
How much tax has he avoided?
How much have his businesses received in subsidies from government?
Just asking questions.

@anthropy And you have to *keep* that battery pack submerged almost indefinitely. There have been recorded instances of EVs reigniting days/weeks after being removed from a suppression pool.
There's no practical or easy way to tell if a battery pack has sufficiently released all of its […]

@anthropy Lithium battery fires aren't like regular fires. Water doesn't "put them out" but rather suppresses the heat of the runaway thermal event.
But you need A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT OF WATER to keep that battery pack cool while it's in RTE. Firefighters use easily dozens of times as much […]

I updated my profile picture for Spooktober, using the piece I got from @Safiru in august!
I still really like the eerie glow of the picture and I think it fits the spooky season rather well.

The advice here in the use is to only use water immersion for "small" lithium batteries, where the relatively small amount of lithium allows the benefit of cooling effect to outweigh the lithium-water reaction.
It is unclear at what size the battery stops being "small" in this sense.

Lithium reacts extremely exothermically with water. No separate oxidizer required. If the battery is already in thermal runaway, I'm not sure that water immersion won't make it worse. It certainly won't smother the lithium reaction, but I suppose it might keep the plastic housing from […]
