Hiya Bill,
I'll take this one for you Steve.
Canyon Lake July 2023
The Friday Flyer | Fire Department issues golf cart lithium-ion battery warnings
Jacksonville June 2023
Business owner says lithium batteries are safe, despite fires | firstcoastnews.com
I'm not sure what you mean by 'spontaneously', in the Jacksonville article there is speculation about possible causes, & in the Canyon Lake they are pointing at charging overnight, but also throw the word 'retrofit' around & then speculate on other possible causes. ie: only use OEM equipment, carefully follow instructions, inspect battery for damage, don't charge past full, don't keep near flammable items, don't charge while sleeping, keep in an optimal temperature environment, & so on.
