Original review summary

The review says the video shows a 2021 incident in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, when a lithium battery from an electric vehicle burst into flames in a lift. It reports that the battery’s thermal runaway—not a magnetic effect of the lift—caused the fire and says the magnetic-battery claim has no scientific backing.[S1]
