In the original video, I covered the Riverside explosion — a residential solar battery storage building that was built like a tank and blown apart by six LiFePO4 batteries. 140,000 views later, the comments made it clear there's a lot of confusion about the chemistry, the cell types, and whether LFP batteries can even do this.

This video goes deeper into the Cal Fire investigation report and clears up the misconceptions.
