It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

So, I've heard that embedding the individual cells in resin(?) leads to far greater stability (can't get runaway fires where one cell lights the next and so forth...). Obviously crap for repairability, but good for safety. Anyone got any good info on this, preferably from the perspective of battery builders?
I dont know how often it happens but I have seen resin encased battery packs catch on fire. Though they were 6 KW/h packs.
