Have you watched the video mentioned in the "lithium lecture" thread?
I think you can draw some facts from that.
Have you watched the video mentioned in the "lithium lecture" thread?Got a good one for you all to answer. What is it that causes the Lithium battery to Swell when overcharged. What are the actual changes that cause this problem? I'm not looking for speculation here but actual factual information.

What I understood is that the organic electrolyte changes at a certain temperature, and probably gives of a gas. An organic somewhat explosive gas. With LiCo a bit more explosive than LiFe. The fact the electrolyte changes into something that is not so effective in what it was designed for makes them go bad. And the gas makes them swell before the plug blows. So, never lett them swell. Unless the gas gan be absorbd again and the electrolyt changes back to its original chemistry after cooling down.I have and I have but it is still not clear. My understanding is that the structure changes and it must be changing in such a way that it now takes up more volume but no longer accepts lithium.

Watched it already. I see no definitive answer. I am looking for definitive answers.the answers are in this video
I was just wondering if your Hi_Power cells were from Motorguy. He had his pack replaced by them because some cells were damaged or something. Thought maybe u inherited them..since u mentioned a good deal, or free or something.....? Not sure what you are talking about?
No need. I have plenty for two projects for now.maybe u can pick up some more cells from him...
Yes, I remember all that and that is what sparked the question. What exactly happens to cause swelling? I'd like to know on the molecular level what happens.
try contacting that guy from the video... I'd say he could probably explain at an atomic level.Again, I don't want speculation or extrapolations. I want exactly what it is and it looks like I need to hunt elsewhere for the answer.
