  1. Where would the hydrogen come from? Li Fe P O4 is the chemical composition, there's nothing explosive there. Li, lithium Fe, iron P04, phosphate (P, Phosphorus + O, oxygen) When they fail it's a thermal runaway situation like thermite - they release the stored energy as heat. This is highschool level chemistry, redox reactions...

  2.  @tooltalk  what do you mean by "directly produced" that makes no sense. What chemical reaction is occurring in a LiFePO4 battery which produces hydrogen gas?
