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.

Thankyou, kindly. Thought it was BS and the best way to find out is to say it's so, someone will tell you you're wrong, often informatively,. Still, the principle of isolating individual cells from runaway burn seems valid in the case of eBike batteries. If not resin, then what?
Well lifepo4 batteries are less prone to having the dendrite issue where literally metal spikes made of lithium compounds will pierse the separator and catch fire. So switching to this safer chemistry is the way to go.
