Solar Power System with Up-cycled Components Part 2

Total immersion may just work. I honestly don't know, my experience with Hybrid Car accidents are only for extrication. I have never worked a fire with a car that had a LiPo batteries only an old civic hybrid with NiMH cells.

It is supposed to work, according to the battery company, but even if it does not, they are buried, and a LiIon cell has a limit to the amount of fuel it contains. All I have to do is protect the other battery sticks, and let it burn. Either way, it is contained, and I only lose 60 watts.

Here are the initial copper prototypes of a 12 volt, and a 24 volt battery using old laptop cells.

Now those are pretty wicked :)

They worked reliably, but converting to plastic isolates the negative electrodes. That way I can switch them separately. It also gives me the burn protection by dropping the damaged cell into the water when it melts. It is also less expensive, which counts when I have to make hundreds of sticks. But, these work very well!
