That's scary. Yesterday the building across the street from us nearly burned down due to a lithium ion battery catching fire. Fortunately, it looks like the damage was limited to a couple rooms of a single office, and the firefighters put it out quick.

It was a good reminder that lithium ion batteries are dangerous. Not sure I'd trust buying them on Amazon.
