See Business jet will have sturdier batteries than Boeing 787 | Business & Technology | The Seattle Times

That is precisely what Cessna have done for the new Citation which will have smaller but similar Li-ion batteries.

A video shows what happened when engineers disabled all the battery’s protective systems, overcharged it and then deliberately ignited the hot chemicals: Nothing more than a few wisps of smoke puffed out of the battery box.
Boeing cannot afford to skimp on these tests
