yes but i can say from my experience, that i have not been able to make my battery's explode an as stated before i have a few hundred Li-ion/LiPo battery's, my EV moped (vespa ciao converted) uses a battery i made, using 36 battery's total and has been going strong for over 1 year now.

The exploding lithium battery's where more "common" 5 years ago, much has happened since, not to mention LiFe battery's that are next to impossible to explode, even bullets fired through the battery does nothing.
