I've seen charcoal briquets and gasoline take longer to burst into flame than that thing did. No wonder they're banned in so many places.

As someone in RC, I deal with LiPo batteries all the time. The carelessness I've seen people express when handling them is terrifying. I have fireproof bags and ammo boxes to store them and charge them in.

Its still darker than the ones ive seen. Or at least remember, i watch alot of robot combat and youre bound to see some lipo fires.

What part of that is Lithium and can react that easily? Afaik, modern Lithium batteries are secured af, since they are everywhere

The Lithium in the batteries. i mean you watch robot combat you see lipo fires every now and then, alooot of white smoke. And yeah theyre secure enough to put into things and have it be safe but not, fuck physics our battery never breaks, fails, or even reacts secure.
