Cool!  However, and everyone's mileage will vary but, I've had one
Li-ion battery self-destruct ... a fairly rapid and very hot display of
either electrical or chemical energy, or both, run amok.  Fortunately,
it was external to my KX1 and able to be flung onto a gravel driveway by
the power connector (the spot of it's demise is still visible).

I've decided I don't want to put them inside anything I love, and I've
asked my wife not to swallow the little new one I have, which I keep
outside in the car port when not using it.
