Yes it should just work.
But I recall an occassion when I was trying to download some data from an EHSI, via USB, and just could not get it to work.
It worked fine on the bench at home, previously. Same laptop etc.
So.... what was different?
It was a duff USB cable
Incidentally, re LIPO batteries, I have one of those model aircraft LIPO protection bags tucked behind the life raft, on the back seat. They won't contain the smoke but are supposed to contain the fire. It's hard to totally avoid LIPOs because even a smartphone has one. However they should not just go off on their own - unless punctured or massively overcharged
