- chris_st 10y agoAs I understand it, the problem was that the anode and cathode wound up touching, causing a short, causing heat, boom. This was, in turn, caused by the manufacture of the case: they didn't leave enough (or any?) expansion room for the battery, and since when charged they heat up and expand, and there wasn't room to expand, boom. So, probably, the batteries in question, if packaged properly, would have been fine.
