I was chatting with a co-worker today when suddenly my left pants pocket started getting hot - REALLY hot! I scrambled to empty the contents of my pocket and realized that the source of the heat was a CR123. My pocket was full of coins and a Leatherman micra, but I figured I was safe because the chances of shorting across both terminals of my spare 123 were virtually zero. Apparently I was wrong.

The battery (and the Leatherman) got so hot that it warped the corner of my ATM card! I had to use a heat gun to flatten it out so it would be usable again.

Maybe I should EDC a spare CR123 in some sort of protective holder.
