That's the part lots of people here don't seem to understand. There is inherent jeopardy in having lots of stored energy in a small volume, coupled with a low enough internal resistance that allows very high current to flow in either direction ... both of which are the case for Li-ion batteries. All reputable Li-ion batteries have control circuitry that limits charge/discharge levels to reasonable levels. If that circuitry goes bad, or doesn't exist in the first place, bad things can happen. It's the nature of the beast, and isn't limited to Li-ion batteries. Put enough energy into a small enough space and we have the potential equivalent of a bomb, period.
