SYAC: “Potting, which uses a hardening resin poured between cells to isolate them from each other and the environment, can mitigate the two biggest factors resulting in fires: corrosion and physical damage.”
Actually: makes them non repairable, hard or impossible to recycle, and inscrutable so you can put anything inside like a counter that kills the battery once it’s past the warranty and a reasonable life but still likely to buy a replacement instead of changing brands.
Those are good points, I wouldn’t put it past a lot of these companies to pull shady shit given the opportunity to make more money.
Sounds like it would make repairing batteries harder unfortunately.
