[RE-wrenches] Known residential/commercial fires from LI batteries

[Jerry Shafer]

There are several different chemistries, like tires. There has been issues
with materials like cobalt, manganese, magnesium and aluminum, used in some
battery manufacturing. Phosphate is not an issue as it does not burn. I
attached a graph colors are hard to see but this is it. Also if a battery
has not a system UL or is fire rated it might be an issue down the road.
