Its a battery that’ll be used by other manufacturers

If it were any other company I would be thrilled. With Samsung, this is going to be internet enabled, you’ll need an app to turn your car on and off, and it’ll probably play ads at high volumes constantly while driving.

…then it will catch fire.

…and will probably explode.

Are solid state batteries having issues with catching fire? I thought that was liquid batteries? Or is this just like saying everything bad that ever happened with lithium ion batteries will happen with everything else?

It was just a joke, ffs.
Samsung devices & appliances are notoriously prone to catastrophic failure - as a matter of fact, I actually had a Samsung TV melt itself - which turns out is a common issue (Google “Samsung tv melting corner”).
Then there’s the Samsung battery fire issues, Samsung refrigerator safety lawsuits, etc.

I have an 12? year old Samsung LED TV. It’s good. Getting rid of it while it’s still working is such a waste.

One could hope that the designs get leaked and the tech becomes widely available without the corporate shitbags.

I am 100% certain that Samsung is currently in litigation regarding exactly this kind of thing at this very moment. These companies have massive arms for corporate espionage and the like, and because of patent laws, it’s always worth spending time and money protecting your tech.

Wait, which company had their battery blowing up ? And were not safe for flight. If these battery blew up then it would be devastating.

“Never install, carry or handle”. OK but what are they for then?

These are cells that are meant to be assembled into larger battery packs by electronics manufacturers, like laptop batteries or e bike batteries.
The cells are fantastic for flashlights, lasers, and vapes, but Samsung does not sell them to end consumers and wishes other companies would not do that either but fuck Samsung I’m not stupid.
