It's like that old trope [0] about the family dog retiring to a farm, except (hopefully) nobody is quite that emotionally-invested in their batteries.<p>[0] Warning: Time-wasting infinite wiki <a href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DogGotSentToAFarm" rel="nofollow">https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DogGotSentToAFar...</a>
They don’t mention anything about rates of fire and how they suppress those fires (especially important in sunny rural California). Are they decommissioning packs before their absolute end of life to reduce this risk or are they trying to squeeze every last drop out of them?
No they won't because older battery is, the higher probability of fire - see lithium dendrites<p><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/chemistry/lithium-dendrite" rel="nofollow">https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/chemistry/lithium-dendr...</a>
