Hmm, dubiously rebuilding a lithium-polymer battery (albeit LFP) in a $2mn supercar...  no, can't possibly see fire being an economic hazard there.   ???

AndyBeez:
Wut ???

People could try watching the video instead of making uninformed snarky comments.

Yeah salt water corroded repairs... no thank you.

As for the battery, typical proprietary BS. You could just buy a new LiFePO battery for $250 if it didn't have that custom communication connection on it. Put a hall sensor or shunt on the wire then sense it somewhere in the cars circuitry.

The cells won't catch fire at least.
