>Sodium is actually more reactive than lithium and explodes on contact with water.

TIL

Cursory LLM powered search suggests that this is true but not a particularly relevant metric for battery safety because battery failure modes aren't "throw elemental raw material into water".

I'm no expert and LLM research is well...yeah...but overall that still sounds like I should be trusting sodium more to my layman ears.
