Just be aware that "lithium batteries" covers a number of chemistries while all contain significant energy when charged, some will go into chemical thermal runaway (burn) and some dont!
There is a big difference in terms of air safety (the ones boeing were using were the type that burn because they have a very slight weight advantage which was lost when they had to build bloody great steel boxes for them)
