Subject: Battery capacity Path: you​!your-host​!wintermute​!wikipedia​!hardees​!triffid​!mechanical-turk​!goatrectum​!plovergw​!plover​!shitpost​!mjd Date: 2018-11-09T11:16:01 Newsgroup: misc.misc.battery-capacity Message-ID: <0e2fef752d285cf3@shitpost.plover.com> Content-Type: text/shitpost The batteries have a rated capacity of 235 mAh at a voltage of 2–3V. This works out to over 400 calories. If such a battery were to release its stored energy all at once in an enclosed space, I see no reason why it could not start a fire. If three were kept together, a sudden failure of one battery could trigger a similar failure of the others, with potentially serious consequences.
