• Findings– A wire that connected the cells at each end of the
battery had gotten very hot, with the last 3 inches completely burned away
– Several of the individual cells showed bulging indicating that they had gotten very hot
– None of the cells ruptured or vented– Cause of the fire appears to be short circuiting,
causing overheating of the cells and circuitry
