SUMMARY
The combustion properties of lithium batteries vary significantly based on their charge levels. Overcharged lithium batteries become unstable and can combust more energetically due to the increased energy stored within them. The energy released during combustion can be compared to the electrical energy stored in the battery. Understanding the chemistry of lithium-ion batteries, particularly the differences between fully charged and fully discharged states, is crucial for analyzing combustion behavior.
