The type of lithium we put into electric cars is usually Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide or (NMC).
The type of lithium we put into RV's is Lithium iron phosphate or LiFePo4 batteries.
You may have seen videos of scary electric car fires exploding and burning for a very long time.
That is something that can happen in NMC batteries, but not LiFePo4 batteries.
LiFePo4 batteries just don't get as hot and even if you were to chuck one into a fire they don't break down as easily as NMC batteries do.
So LiFePo4 batteries don't fuel the fire the way NMC batteries do.
We use NMC batteries in electric cars because they charge faster and have a longer range.
But we use LiFePo4 batteries in RV's because they are safer.
This is an all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares situation.
Both NMC and LiFePo4 batteries are lithium.
And NMC lihtium fires are very scary.
But LiFePo4 just doesn't explode and fuel fires the way NMC batteries do.

Phew. I hope this helps you sleep easier at night.

This is just a loving reminder that the flash sale on RV Academy ends TONIGHT at midnight.

RV Academy if you don't know is where I teach people how to become their own personal RV techs.

I show you the EXACT troubleshooting techniques that techs like me use when we come to look at the electrical and propane systems in your RV.

Then we walk through how to use those techniques to diagnose your Fridge, AC, Water Heater, and Furnace.

Never touched a multimeter? No Problem. There is a separate module in there that will walk you through every setting on there so you feel like a pro.

wow sometimes YT moves quick.

So earlier this week I shot a quick video about this ai slop channel that had clearly stolen video from not only me but also other RV channels.

One of the other people who had had their video stolen put in a copyright claim and that video was taken down the same day I had posted a video about it.

But the channel had over 25 other videos up that all shared a similar format. I couldn't find more of my own footage on their channel, but it was all crappy ai voices giving generic RV advice with other stolen broll over the top or just generic smiling people in front of RV's.

I was surprised from the comments on the videos how many people didn't seem to realize that this channel was ai and was going to make a video about why these channels suck. ie misinformation and outright plagiarism

But hot damn. As of first thing this morning this channel still had all of its other videos up. Now at 9 am all of its content has been taken down. Holy cow. Swift action YouTube.
