ithium batteries can explode rather than simply burn when certain conditions cause rapid and uncontrolled reactions within the battery, leading to a pressure buildup. Here are the key conditions that may cause an explosion: 1. Overcharging: Explanation: Overcharging occurs when a lithium battery is charged beyond its voltage limit. Most lithium-ion batteries operate safely within a 4.2V per cell limit, but overcharging can lead to: Lithium plating: Formation of lithium metal on the anode. Thermal runaway: Excess heat generated can cause the electrolyte to vaporize, leading to an explosion. Outcome: This heat can rupture the cell's casing, resulting in a release of flammable gases that ignite or explode under pressure. so this method would most like be caused by discharging the one battery into the other and overstacking charge very fast.

[@sagniksarkar7934]

Could you please assist me? I need to learn Linux, but all my devices are running Windows. I have a laptop, but there's no space left for a dual boot. I would like to use my SD card as a hard drive for dual booting, but I'm unsure how to go about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 😢

[@mattnsac]

To make a Li battery explode, you need to be able to short the battery or you need to overcharge it very quickly. That requires physical access to the charging circuits of the battery. Im much more likely to lean to explosives being placed in comm devices that Hezzbolah were known to use.

[@ehsnils]

Add to it that pagers are pretty simple devices so all you need is to send a paging pattern to that pager. Lets say that you get 4 pagings within a minute and then your modified battery recognizes it and goes off. No need to go deep into your pager. For phones and cars there's more value in using them to track your whereabouts and sift out your data to know when and where you are going to be and strike there - or throw in a coordinated strike towards all your contacts at the same time. Inserting false information can also be very effective. On a pager you can insert false info too, but it's not always that effective.

[@jacoels2712]

Also think the BMS will have some extra safety built in.

[@Kratun4o]

Are you opening every battery on every phone you have or had? I don't think so. Never know what is actually inside, really...

[@brandonw1604]

Or add an explosive since they burn and don't explode.

[@NoBody-tz4fb]

There were explosives plated in these

[@georgejones5019]

Batteries dont explode, they combust or burn. The pagers were delivered with explosives in them. I have experience with military explosives, I was a muntions systems tech in the US Air Force.

[@leek5682]

Yeah it seems uninformed to me that we are discussing hacking in the context of this event. Even if a signal was used to initiate an explosion, it was probably built to receive that signal and act as the pagers did, so it isn't exactly hacking

Batteries do explode. A few men have been killed by exploding phones, 2 when they held them by their heads, and 1 who had his phone in his pocket.

[@matt_milack]

No, phone or car which was not previously charged with explosive can't be blown up by the cyber attack, have zero doubts about that.

[@absiddique139]

Forgot about Samsung galaxy note 7

[@matt_milack]

@@absiddique139 None of them was blown up by cyber attack. Vast majority of those cases were cases of battery melt down or combustion, and in extremely rare cases of explosion, victim had minor burns and scratches, nothing nowhere near of explosion which would end grown man's life.

[@LifesAScript]

​@matt_milack You clearly didn't comprehend what was said in the video... He is saying that a battery attack could happen, whether this was a battery hack, or supply chain tampering. His point is, in the future, that's going to be a major concern...

[@matt_milack]

@@LifesAScript You clearly didn't comprehend what was said in my comment. I'm not saying that battery attack could not happen, I'm saying that without previously charging pager/phone/car with the explosive, with you battery attack you can melt down battery or make battery burn, and you, most definitely, can't produce an explosion which could kill grown up man.

[@Alisdair67]

@@matt_milack I’m pretty they are saying if its packed with explosives like the pager, it is possible

[@EnlightenedSavage]

There is a little bit of bs here. Yes lithium batteries can burn. They burn hot and fast this can cause the stuff that surround to burn violently as well. They don't explode.

[@user-yh2vm2ti3c]

they do ,, but yes explosion is not the correct word,, the more suitable term is "pop".. li-on do pop at the end of combustion cycle. It's not fatal though.

[@LucyKelly-jh5is]

They do. People have been killed by exploding phones.

[@brandonw1604]

The pagers don't even have Li batteries, either way Li batteries burn they don't explode. It was 100% explosives, how the explosive was triggered is the question. Scooters exploding are from sealed compartments and the gas from the battery expanding.

Ya...C4...thru an international Aeroport! Hmmmm....they have dogs with excellent smell and training for specific substances... but then there are other electronic devices that'll pick up vapor, etc. Unless they "TIGHTLY ", embedded C4 or something similar within A battery pack or an I.C.. I'll lean on a Lithium cell theory that is tightly bounded together or a better way of putting it; place a firecracker on the "open" palm of your hand and light it -figuratively speaking! Now, clench the firecracker in the grip of your hand....which of the 2 will do more damage!?😮 Remember, someone designed these products to have 2 major purposes!

[@cidercreekranch]

I fail to see how solar panels can be made to explode since they do not store the generated energy. Solar panel are designed and test to withstand a short circuit. If there is a battery system attached to the installation then that could be the point of attack and not the panels.

[@gamereditor59ner22]

Interesting .... 🤔 If the pagers receive, can you interfere with another signal to prevent the explosion? Edit: Thank you for the video, David!

[@Doc1670]

Unless it was on a timer. They did explode at the same time. So it could be set on a timer to explode at a specific time.

Thought about this right away deffinetly a combo of mechanical, software, and firmware hacking. I think probable for the lithium side for sure, but also do get this one may have been just the supply chain aka mechanical hack.

[@Randy778]

Batteries aren´t a reliable detonator in this case simply because of varying charge. At a given point of time not all batteries´re charged to the same degree thus what makes one battery explode might make another just fizzle and burn. I stick with the boom-stuff camp on this one. For a single target that´s of course something entirely different... concearning.

This might be silly but.... We should put little gravity generators on our phones. Release a little weight which turns gears which creates powers, the more gears, the less the weight needs to be lowered. It's free energy. If they can power a light 💡 they should be able to be made to power a phone. It would obviously be an ugly attachment for the seriously paranoid.

The pager attack is not a cyber attack. It was a supply chain attack. It does not matter if your car is safe from cyber attack because they can't blow the battery. The fact is you do not know if your car has had a explosive charge "manufactured" into it which then can be triggered remotely with an internet connection.

[@hharris712]

I highly doubt it was the secondary battery and even more doubt that the detonation method was first exploding a battery. I would bet it to be more likely C4 or another military grade explosive was somehow built into the casing or was applied to the casing looking like a plastic or tape/epoxy and that was connected to the circuitry of the board to send an electronic voltage to detonate once a specific signal was received.

[@hharris712]

C4 is a very stable explosive that can only be detonated by a shockwave, such as when a detonator is fired.

[@hharris712]

The Li battery explosions have all most all been traced back to impurities and break down in QoS in the manufacturing processing. Those impurities cause a chain reaction.. that wouldn't be controlled by a control system.

[@lohphat]

Two things must be true for this to work. The voltage regulator must be programmable. The device must be online, or have been intercepted physically (supply chain) to inject code or the C4. The larger worry about LiOn batteries is sloppy manufacturing. That is a much larger risk. The solution is that battery regulation needs to be air gapped from the rest of the device.

Many people here make comments such Li batteries cannot explode and such, while at 0:38 OTW clearly said that a small amount of C4 is placed next to the batteries. As far as I know, C4 is explosive therefore, it can explode.

[@AToneForOurSins]

I think people are saying that if it WERE A BATTERY ATTACK that batteries in and of themselves do not just explode. They combust, obviously something will be destroyed when exposed to an explosive, but the battery still didn't explode, it was destroyed IN the explosion and more than likely combusted. You're still wrong AND you misunderstood what everyone is saying.
