| Almost as bad as a fuel oil fire on a cruise ship. |

| Lithium batteries are more prone to self-immolation/thermal runaway; heavy fuel oils aren't prone to spontaneous ignition at typical temperatures & pressures. |

And once put out can easily re-ignite. | |

| There's no need to lie. Lithium battery fires are a fucking nightmare. |
