First of all, I wonder if there should be a sticky for battery safety.
Now for the main reason I posted this. I had some Panasonic 3100 mAh 18650s that started bulging at the - end. I'd rather not trust a battery in any device if it's doing that. Reading about them exploding due to shorts/overheating, I decided to shoot one with a pellet gun. This will just give you an idea of what happens. This is best case scenario. Why do I say that? Because there is a hole to relieve the pressure build up.
Sorry about the video being a little blurry. I hadn't notice that the lens fogged up when I took the camera outside.
Please be safe.
