I like to watch movies with my laptop in my lap.
From what I've read about lithiums, this could be dangerous.
However, the only lithium accidents I've heard about involve cellphone
lithium polymers in plastic bags, presumably counterfeited in China.
Most laptops, on the other hand, use high grade Sony 16550 or 16850
cylindrical cells, which are hermetically sealed with conventional organic
liquid electrolyte. In terms of robustness and longevity, this particular
design is considered to be the Cadillac of lithiums.
Is anyone familiar with, or has anyone heard of, incidents when this type of
cell ruptured with explosive force, or enough heat to burn through the pack
casing?
One manufacturing criteria the cell is supposed to withstand is sawing
through, or crushing the case, without provoking an explosion.
