Tagging: Zenesis battery venting safety post
If by some odd chance an IMR battery vents in a Zenesis PV:
1: NO FLAMES IMMEDIATELY WILL EXIT THE MOUTHPIECE... There is a Nylon Ferrule on the center post inside the PB... then further up there is a Threaded Ballistic Nylon Slug blocking the center hole, and above that there is a Threaded Stainless Steel Post. Even if flames made it past the first ferrule, they would not get past the ballistic nylon slug and stainless post.
2: Because of the heat involved in this reaction, you would DROP the PV as it heats up... any venting would be through the side of the switch at the very bottom. And letting go of it stops the flow of electricity... it would continue to vent, however once it has started... but you will still have your face.
And that is assuming you can get an AW IMR battery to vent...
With the rash of these other PVs exploding, I can honestly say a person would have to be stupid to use LiIon batteries in a PV, protected or not.
But then again, people would have to be stupid to smoke too... and I think we've all been there.
