I do battery safety testing for a living. I've only ever seen one lithium based battery cook off, and have poor video footage of another instance.
I've got a nice safe nickel battery to abuse today. Still, it's in the bomb box, and inside the fire cabinet.

It's a mobility scooter battery, and we were doing a rapid discharge fault. The battery starts venting right at the beginning of the test. We were videoing the test because the paperwork for the battery was dodgy as fuck, and no-one wanted to be in the same room as it.

I'd be interested in what it was venting, as I don't think there's much water in there, burning polyester?
