Finally a lithium starting battery

Galaxy s7 comes to mind

That was the Note 7 and that was due to severe overheating from an out of spec battery.

In an automotive application, your battery is secured and inside the frame, so you'll have to take a hit in that specific area to try to compromise the battery. In vehicles that it makes sense to run an LFE battery (sports cars) the battery will usually be towards the back of the engine bay, further removing it from being hit in a collision.

LFE designed for motor vehicle use are fine in an appropriate automotive application. I've run them for years in a desert, using them on the street and in auto sports. I've had a car that took three severe hits and came to a rest on its side, and the battery was still secured, intact, and was reused.

I don't want to be a downer but have you guys seen what happens when lithium burns? What happens when you get in an accident and the battery main cables short together?

There are many different types of Lithium batteries. lithium iron phosphate battery LiFePO 4 doesn't have the thermal run away affects.
