      Not always, a bad design/construction of a battery I wouldn’t call it external factors. It doesn’t need anything external to set on fire. But I agree that it’s not common.

      On the Diesel/petrol case… it would need a leak to begin with and usually it’s not s difficult thing to design a tank/engine without leaks. Let’s be honest a battery is a more complex system to fuck up.

        I don’t have to imagine, I saw it with my own eyes. Although it was a bike. Some random spark somewhere ignited the fumes, scary shit.
