Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere—from electric vehicles and power tools to phones, vacuums, lawn equipment, and countless devices inside our homes. But what happens when one fails?
In this episode of Playing With Fire, Bryan Spitulski sits down with Captain Richard Birt, a veteran firefighter and expert in lithium-ion batteries, electric vehicles, and solar and battery systems. Richard explains what happens during a battery failure, including toxic off-gassing, extreme heat, hydrogen buildup, and the hazards that can remain long after a fire is extinguished.
Bryan and Richard also discuss the growing risks these fires pose to firefighters and fire investigators, contamination of protective gear, and why EV and lithium-ion battery fires require a different approach. They also share practical advice for homeowners on charging, replacement batteries, and understanding the rechargeable devices we use every day.
