What if? Worst Case Scenario
If: Natural disaster, nearby explosion, or
structural failure penetrates the exterior and
spills all of the electrolyte.
ViZn:
• Easily neutralized with common
materials
• Easy to dispose of via local guidelines.
• Potentially sewerable
Lithium Ion:
• Toxic smoke
• Heavy metal cleanup site
• Battery materials are an accelerant
• Electric shock hazard w/ charged cells
• Firefighter hazard, H2O reactivity
