and in other news, fire hot.
This is quite an interesting video:
I'm going to make a controversial statement:
You can't get a properly made lithium battery to explode without serious modification


with slightly less controversy
You can get a poorly made battery to emit smoke, get hot (potentially enough to set surrounding combustible materials in close contact on fire) and with a only a little bit of 'look dear, I made it better!' modification, catch fire.


and without any at all,
you can't trim a burnt beard. It still looks just as bad. Shave it off and start again.
