Under what circumstances can a car battery spontaneously combust?
1 Answers
Battery spontaneous combustion can be attributed to the following two aspects: 1. Battery cells: Issues related to battery cells mainly include internal short circuits, external short circuits, and over-explosion. 2. Improper usage: Causes related to improper usage primarily involve frequent deep charge-discharge cycles, overcharging, and excessive charge-discharge currents. Below is relevant information: 1. Charging: Always use the designated charger under specified conditions; otherwise, it may lead to battery overheating, venting, leakage, combustion, or rupture. 2. Battery connection: When using more than one battery in an application, ensure correct connections between batteries as well as with the charger or load. Incorrect connections can cause battery rupture, combustion, or damage, and in some cases, may even result in personal injury.
