Burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride?

Yes. A peer-reviewed study measuring emissions from seven commercial lithium-ion battery types reports that burning cells generate large amounts of hydrogen fluoride, and a Swedish fire-test report likewise identifies hydrogen fluoride as the toxic gas distinguishing electric-vehicle battery fires. Other fire tests confirm toxic gas release but do not name hydrogen fluoride specifically.
