    Do EV batteries burn less if not charged? Do they intentionally give them a low charge in transit just to maintain battery health and move them around to reduce the risk if so?

    Also, at what point do you just call it a loss and scuttle the ship so that you’re at least not releasing everything into the atmosphere? Or can they just flood certain compartments to extinguish the fire?

      All I can add is that lithium batteries don’t vent jack when dead. SOURCE: Multiple gun shot tests.

      But damn do you have some smart questions! Love to know more about all of those.
