The City of Roseville released dramatic video showing the moment the battery ignited in the back of the truck.
"It's not a slow ignition process. It's very rapid," said Justin Sylvia with Sacramento Fire.
Sacramento Fire officials say the smoke from those fires can also create a toxic gas cloud.
Lithium-ion batteries have also sparked fires in Sacramento. They are commonly found in laptops, e-bikes, power tools and other rechargeable devices.
"Once you see a lithium-ion battery rupture inside the back of a trash truck, the chain reaction happens so quickly and so violently that it causes that fire to expand very rapidly," Sylvia said.
Many cities, including Roseville, offer free drop-off and pickup options to help residents safely dispose of dead batteries.
