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.

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

Nasty gases? They must be bad, as they let the fire out after them.
Dunno TBH, I'll ask my topic expert colleague.

So was that a pass or a fail?

If the fire gets outside of the equipment enclosure, that's not a pass.
So fail.
I use this video in training sessions now.
