Not so. Saw it happen at Prescott in 2020. Lithium ion battery in a competition car spontaneously burst into flames for no apparent reason. Lots of smoke and some sort of discharge. Marshals and other competitors tried a range of extinguishers to no effect. In the end, battery removed and placed in a bucket of water. That stopped the thing. Turned out the fire in the battery was caused by it over charging.
