Presumably this can also be stimulated directly through atom on atom contact, which implies that Li may very well be a good Mills catalyst. Actually the energy required is about 0.35 eV too much, but overpotential at the electrode could easily make up the difference. I'm not sure of the exact chemistry in Li ion batteries, but I suspect that at some point both Li and H are formed concurrently on one electrode. That would frequently put both atoms in direct contact, so that hydrino catalysis can take place. In short we may be seeing explosive hydrino formation under some circumstances, or alternatively, a population of severely shrunken hydrinos may be building up over time, which eventually leads to the reaction
H + Li7 -> 2He4 The energetic alphas then create much O++ resulting in run-away hydrino formation and shrinkage. The energy herefrom would cause the battery to explode. BTW In an old edition of Infinite-Energy magazine the cover story dealt with seeding furnaces with small quantities of Lithium. IMO, this is another example of Li catalyzing hydrino reactions.
