Battery fires are exotherm AFAIK and get very hot, flame retardants can probably only slow everything down.

    I accidentally punctured a maybe 30% charged battery while attempting a display swap on my phone a couple years back. The thing started a nasty hissing sound and smoked like crazy. I was glad to live on ground level and was able to throw the thing onto concrete tiles in the backyard. Lithium battery energy density is no joke.
