It is the two flaws combined and lined up just right that causes the failure. Anode touches Cathode and short circuits. All 3 major cell designs are fundamentally the same - they are sheets of cathode and anodes layered together with a separator sheet between them. All 3 types of cells have experience fires in cars.
