Imaging your boat got on battery fire in the middle of the ocean :)
Imagine tanks full of highly volatile combustible fluids on fire in the middle of the ocean 🫨

That's why most boat power systems use LiFePo4 (aka LFP) batteries instead of LiCoO2 like you phone battery. LFP is immune to thermal runaway, and can't burn even if it did overheat.
What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you're in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater, and there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there?
Something something sharks?
Not mermaids? I feel tricked.
