Does this burning at 200 j/g really mean it would be a lot safer or do you chalk this up to be company propaganda. Clearly it is a lot lower than gasoline, but since 600-900 proved to still be an issue, could this be enough to stabilize people's fears you think?

I do not think so. These batteries can still burn, and get super hot then. The fire just does not last as long. The firefighters will notice for sure, the general public not so much. The problem is less grave, but still exists.

I'd rather a slower, less intense burn tbh. More time to escape.
